MEETING REGISTRATION
The online registration system for AMCP meetings is not recognizing me as a member.
There could be a few reasons why the registration system is not recognizing you as a member.
- You started the online registration process, but decided you wanted to join or renew your membership before completing the registration process, i.e., to get the lower member rate. The online registration system, however, does not allow you to change your registration type once you have started the process, and thus will not recognize you as a member. Please contact AMCP Member Services at memberservices@amcp.org to have your registration type updated.
- If you are unsure of the status of your membership, contact AMCP Member Service at 800-827-2627 or email memberservices@amcp.org.
