Dear ,

As we approach the upcoming APSS membership renewal cycle, we’d like to share an update on membership fees and renewal options.

For more than 20 years, APSS has kept membership fees unchanged while continuing to grow the depth and quality of our community. One of the most distinctive values of APSS remains access to experienced, working professional speakers who generously share real-world insights, mentorship, and support — access that would be difficult to find outside the association.

Annual membership fees

As part of planning responsibly for the next 5–10 years and ensuring the long-term sustainability of APSS, the ExCo has reviewed our annual membership fees.

From the upcoming renewal cycle:

• Associate Member (AM) - S$350 per year
• Professional Member (PM) - S$390 per year (no change)

PM fees remain unchanged in recognition of the many ways Professional Members contribute to the community through mentoring, supporting initiatives such as Speakers Academy, and offering guidance that strengthens APSS as a whole.

New multi-year renewal options

To better support members and provide greater value, we are introducing new multi-year membership options.

Members who choose multi-year renewals enjoy a lower average cost per year, protection against future fee adjustments, and uninterrupted access to APSS programmes and benefits.

Associate Members (AM)

• 2 years: S$600 (average S$300 per year, saving S$100 total)

• 5 years: S$1,350 (average S$270 per year, saving S$400 total)

Professional Members (PM)

• 2 years: S$630 (average S$315 per year, saving S$150 total)

• 5 years: S$1,500 (average S$300 per year, saving S$450 total)

These options are designed as a win-win: better value and peace of mind for members, and greater financial stability that allows APSS to plan programmes, venues, and partnerships more effectively.

Our commitment remains the same — to continuously increase the value of your membership. In the months ahead, members can look forward to both familiar favourites and new benefits, including APSS collar pins and zoom webinars with overseas speakers.

Thank you for being part of APSS and for helping us grow a strong, generous, and professional speaking community together.

If you have any questions or would like to discuss which renewal option best suits you, I’m always happy to hear from you.

Amplifying growth together with you,
