The Membership Application Process

The NYSSCPA bylaws require that all membership applications be approved by a vote of the Board of Directors. Applicant lists are forwarded to a meeting of either the Executive Committee or the full Board of Directors for approval. As a result, there is an unavoidable delay between the receipt of a membership application, its appropriate processing and final Board approval.

For this reason, we extend all the benefits of membership upon receipt and appropriate processing of an application.

All applicants will receive either a letter or e-mail (depending on how we receive the application) confirming receipt of their application. After official Board approval, NYSSCPA will notify all applicants by mail. All new members will receive a welcome pack confirming information about our many member benefits.

Included in this information packet will be an invoice for dues based on the date of application per our bylaws. The bylaws also provide for prorated dues depending on the time of year that you apply. Upon receipt of dues, a hand-lettered certificate suitable for framing will be ordered and sent to the applicants preferred address.

Please call the membership department at (800) 633-6310 or e-mail us at member@nysscpa.org if you have any questions.
