It’s time to renew your membership with ACA International for the coming year!
No matter where you are on your professional journey, ACA is here to help you succeed. We provide access to hundreds of benefits that can enhance your business. From education and professional development tools, compliance insights, volunteering opportunities, free publications, discounts on essential products and services, a strong advocacy presence in Washington, D.C., to everything in between, if there is something that can improve your business life in some way, ACA has it.
Here are the top five reasons to renew your membership:
1. Advocate For Your Professional Interests
Every day, ACA is leading efforts to support and oppose legislation while organizing coalitions that advocate for shared interests. Our advocacy team weighs in on issues at the national and state level that directly impact your daily business. ACA is protecting the future of the ARM industry, but we can’t do it without the support of our members. Our online Advocacy Resource Center provides you with tools to advocate for the industry when meeting with your lawmakers and regulators.
2. Fight Meritless Lawsuits
Only ACA members can apply for the Industry Advancement Fund (IAF) to help defray litigation costs from nuisance claims and meritless lawsuits. The IAF has been earmarked for litigation matters, federal regulatory initiatives, and state legislative and regulatory initiatives that affect the ARM industry. With the IAF’s financial support, ACA has reshaped judicial doctrines and driven positive decisional law, making it easier for you to conduct business. Your ACA membership dues support this critical program.
3. Gain Instant Access to Your Industry Peers
Leadership can be isolating, but with ACA you’re never alone. Are you the teacher or the student? When you participate in ACA’s networking and engagement opportunities, you’re both. Our six annual conferences give you a chance to meet and exchange ideas with peers and vendors, and our webinars are highly interactive. Find out what your fellow members are up to on The Hub—ACA’s online community where you can ask and answer questions about business operations.
4. Get Unmatched Compliance Resources
Are you interested in recaps of the latest legal decisions in the ARM industry? Check out our Daily Decision archive. Compliance documents to help bolster your CMS? Visit the ACA SearchPoint® library. Weekly compliance updates? Attend the ACA Huddle webinar. State and federal compliance guides? Visit the ACA Store. Have a compliance question?

5. Improve Your Skills
Lifelong learning starts with ACA. Think of us as your career partner, supporting your continuous education every step of the way. We offer seven professional designations for a range of experiences and roles. Our online courses and flexible scheduling make it easy to level-up your business. Plus, ACA members get discounted rates on training products. This industry changes fast—stay up to date with ACA’s comprehensive professional education.
Your payment by Jan. 1 confirms access to the member benefits that give you an edge over your competitors and helps you stand up for your business through the next year. ACA is looking forward to what’s to come and to continue to serve our members in the upcoming year, so don’t miss out by not renewing before the new year!
