Becoming an Affiliate 

Why should I want to become an Affiliate SIOP member?

Becoming an Affiliate SIOP member will provide networking opportunities, allow you to keep up with the latest trends in workplace science, research, and practice, and provide professional development opportunities

How do I sign up to become an Affiliate SIOP member?

To sign up, please visit https://www.siop.org/Membership/Affiliate and click the “Become an Affiliate” button. Annual membership dues are $80.

Where can I learn more about the Affiliate membership?

Please visit https://www.siop.org/Membership/Affiliate to learn about membership benefits, upcoming events, and Affiliate resources.

How does SIOP differ from other professional organizations, like APA or SHRM?

SHRM is an HR-focused society with 300,00+ members, with a purpose to elevate the HR profession. SHRM is likely to offer mostly HR-related content, with less scientific or data support than SIOP’s content. APA has 133,000+ members from all psychology fields, with a focus on promoting the advancement, communication, and application of psychological science and knowledge to benefit society and improve lives. APA is likely to offer a wide range of psychology research, much of which would be based in science, but less workplace-specific resources than SIOP’s offerings.
