There has never been a better time to join the APG. Your annual membership covers the following:

  • APG Jobs Board: Post jobs and peruse FT and freelance opportunities.
  • Mentorship programme: Get 1:1 mentoring on everything from research skills to effectiveness.
  • Resume & portfolio review and interview tips: Get tips and tricks to improve your chances of landing that job.
  • 2023/24 APG Salary Survey: Full access to results including salary ranges by job title

Plus, discounts on APG Events and Training from the IPA, Lions Learning, Sweathead,Planning Folklore (Baiba Matisone), and our very own school, The APG School of Strategic Goodness.
 
The other "benefit" is supporting the APG as we work to promote and strengthen Canada's strategic planning community. Importantly, this includes reports like the Salary Survey. In 2023, 31% of APG revenue funded the Survey and 24% of that revenue came from membership fees.

Membership Options

Please note, as of Jan 1st, professional and student membership have increased to $100 and $50 respectively. Professional and student membership renewals, however, have remained at $45 and $75 for 2025.

The APG is wholly run by volunteers who spend hundreds of hours every month organizing events, developing content, managing training. To ensure that we can continue to celebrate and champion the strategic planning community in Canada, over the next year, we’d like to bring on paid employees to help. If you value the APG and all that we do, then please support us as we work towards this goal. Join us as a member, enrol in a class, or come out to our events.

In order to promote equity amongst agencies of all sizes and amongst different types of strategists, whether full time or freelance, we do not offer bulk discounts.
