Membership Benefits

  • YOUR SOURCE FOR BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE.

    AAHP’s monthly electronic newsletter includes member-exclusive articles on crucial and timely topics affecting your business. Recent headlines have included “How to Stop Bad Inspections,” and “New Regulatory Requirement!” With AAHP membership, you get custom-tailored industry knowledge you can’t get anywhere else.

  • YOUR AGENT ON CAPITOL HILL.

    AAHP fights for your right to market your product. This means working with elected officials. AAHP has a dedicated committee, including a seasoned lobbyist, that regularly educates lawmakers on Capitol Hill about our industry and our unique needs. AAHP membership eliminates the expense of hiring your own lobbyist — we have your back covered in our nation’s capital.

  • YOUR EXPERT SUPPORT.

    Use the member-exclusive “Ask AAHP” service to receive technical advice and suggestions from board members and other industry experts. Receive advice on questions like, “Can the word ‘homeopathic’ be placed anywhere on my label, or is there a place requirement?” and “Based on the HPUS attenuations listed for Arnica montana, is a 1X attenuation acceptable for OTC external use?” Why get an outside consultant for everyday advice when your AAHP is ready to help?

  • YOUR VOICE TO FDA AND FTC.

    AAHP makes sure FDA and FTC hear our members’ perspectives. As an example of the power and savings provided by the association, AAHP hired a third-party consultant and worked with FTC to create proper disclaimer language — a monumental task that would prove too costly for any one company. AAHP helps to shape market regulations in your favor, saving you the massive amounts of time and money it would take to do it on your own.

  • YOUR NETWORK BUILDER.

    The whole industry comes together at AAHP’s semiannual meetings to network, learn, and share knowledge. Members build meaningful relationships and gain insights from the industry’s top professionals and leaders. AAHP membership offers you a seat at the table in shaping the direction of the industry.

  • YOUR EDUCATION HUB.

     AAHP offers a host of webinars and training programs to help your company achieve peak performance. Session topics include regulation updates, compliance how-tos, and much more. As a member, you receive significant registration discounts for these one-of-a-kind training sessions.
