Where can I find my member number?

You can find your member number in these places: on the membership card that was mailed to you when you first joined, on your renewal invoice, and on the “My Account” screen when you log in to the Members Only section of the AASM Web site.

I want to renew my membership online, but I forgot my login information for the Web site. How can I get my login information?

Send an e-mail to the membership department with your full name and you will receive an e-mail reply with your login information.

If I join the AASM in the middle of the year, will my membership last for the next 12 months?
