Member Benefits
What ALA membership includes.
Every ALA membership runs one year from the day you join and renews from your expiration date. Individual memberships include CE tracking, the annual print issue of Licensed Architect, and member rates on every event. Affiliate, the $500 company listing, does not include these individual benefits. Professional, Senior Professional, and Emeritus members also get the full contract library at no charge.
