The Virtual New Member Kit
So ... you've just joined AFP ...
What happens now?
You can expect your credit card to be processed within five to seven business days. When that's confirmed, we send you a New Member Kit, containing your member number, and many other sources of information about AFP member benefits. It usually takes several weeks for you to receive your New Member Kit.
You don't want to wait that long?
You could call our Membership Services Department (five to seven business days after joining online), to learn the status of your application: (800) 666-3863. We should have your member number and password, and you can get started.
In the meantime ...
We've created this "Virtual New Member Kit" to link you to online versions of many of the items you'll find in your kit.
