If you recently renewed your membership dues within the last two weeks of receiving your invoice, you may disregard the invoice and we thank you for your continued membership with AOA. Contact our Member Resource Center via email or phone at (312) 202-8000 to verify for your membership status.

How much of the membership dues go towards lobbying?

The AOA estimates that 3.91% of your membership dues is used for the AOA’s lobbying activities and is therefore not deductible for income tax purposes.
