    ABA Membership Dues and Benefits

    Improved benefits. Greater value.

    The ABA launched a more simplified annual membership dues structure in 2019 that reduced the number of dues rates and lowered dues rates in many cases. Enhanced ABA member benefits and a new logo were also introduced.

    Information about current dues rates and member benefits for the ABA and it's Section of Environment, Energy, and Resources (SEER) is below.
