American Payroll Association Chapters by State

Undoubtedly, one of the best benefits of APA membership is the ability to network with other like-minded professionals. In fact, since the organization has a primary goal of equipping specialists with helpful resources, this interaction is almost necessary. After all, what better way to provide such a service than by creating an environment where individuals can collaborate? This is why American Payroll Association chapters are such a vital part of the organization’s structure and purpose. Without these local bodies, networking and individual growth would become much more difficult.

Arguably, payroll specialists attempting to grow their skills without a chapter membership significantly disadvantage themselves. So, it’s important to know how to connect with one or several American Payroll Associate chapters near you.

If you’re looking for a way to plug into a group, the following list can help point you in the right direction. Simply find your state, then look for the nearest American Payroll Association chapters.

Get Involved with One of the American Payroll Association Chapters

Obviously, there are plenty of American Payroll Association chapters spread out across the country. And this makes it easier for organization members to find a local group and get involved. Beyond the ability to network, chapter membership can also provide helpful resources for continuing education and professional growth. And during National Payroll Week, local chapters play a huge role. Sometimes, meetings themselves might count toward recertification goals.

However, meetings along generally won’t account for every bit of credit APA members need. And furthermore, it isn’t always possible to get this credit through the various American Payroll Association chapters.

Fortunately, VTR Learning also provides a unique and convenient way for APA members to obtain RCH credits. We have something for every learner, from eBooks and video lectures to courses that place the learner in a business simulation. So, members of American Payroll Association chapters who can’t attend meetings still have a helpful resource for completing continuing education.

Overall, the the various American Payroll Association chapters work together to ensure APA members have everything they need to succeed. So, it’s in the best interest of each individual to seek out their closest group and find a way to get involved.
