I recently joined the AICPA on 12/14/2012. I had a couple questions regarding the membership card/certificate and membership dues.

1. I have not received my membership card or certificate. Does anyone remember how long it took for them to mail out those things to you (assuming you are a member). I emailed AICPA, but figured I’d ask here in the meantime.

2. I paid the full $220 due + $65 new member fee when I joined. I noticed that the next dues are owed in July. Do I get any discount/pro rated dues since I paid for a full year but only have about 7 months before my renewal?

Thanks everyone!

Hello: it took about two weeks for my certificate to arrive in the mail.

As far as the fees, I do not believe they will prorate you.

Does AICPA provide you a wall certificate after you join ?

Did you guys also join Cal Society too? is it worth?

They provide a frame now too?

The wall certificate is impressive compared to my state BOA ink-jet-esque certificate (that came mailed with a bent corner and loosely protected by 2 pieces of cardboard).

I am very surprised too… that they provide a frame too…

Mine just came in the mail last week and I did not get a frame???

I became a member of the AICPA around Nov 2012 and I did not get a frame! Not fair! LOL.

So anyone have any new ideas on this? Besides what you get FROM the AICPA, is this something that is really valuable for your resume?

Used Becker online. Who needs a text when you can burn your eyes out staring at the screen for months on end?

"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place and it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't how hard you're hit; it's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done!"

It's a great way to waste $235, annually. If I weren't required to have it, I would certainly not be a member.
