Benefits Extension for Unemployed Members Given the current economic conditions, downsizing and lay-offs are a possibility that must be acknowledged. APICS members who take advantage of the education and fraternity opportunities offered by their membership are usually key employees who provide much value to their employers. However, even key employees can lose their jobs as companies take drastic measures to survive. At Western Mass. Chapter 19, we want you to know that we will be there for you if you suddenly face unemployment. The Chapter maintains a job bank for positions in the local area. We provide networking opportunities at every PDM at a reduced cost and education if you are in need of re-tooling. In addition, we offer free membership for unemployed members (who meet a few minimal criteria) so they can continue to attend meeting s and maintain contacts with other members. APICS Corporate headquarters sends dues reminders to each member on their anniversary month. The dues notice includes the portions for both Society and Chapter dues. Payment is due within thirty days after billing. However, if, at the time of billing a member is unemployed and actively seeking work within the APICS business sector, their membership may be extended for a six month period at no cost. Members may apply for this extension through the local Chapter, which must approve the request and waive the Chapter portion of the dues assessment. If the member remains unemployed at the end of the extension period, they may apply for up to two additional extensions (for a total of 18 months). If you need to take advantage of this program, contact President Bob Gagnon. |
