How do I pay my membership dues?

You may pay your dues in one of three ways.



•You may send a check made out to NAVAPD with your application form to:

NAVAPD Member Services
P.O. Box 15418
Arlington, Virginia 22215-0418

•Or, if you are a VA employee, you may elect to pay by payroll deduction. NAVAPD is an officially recognized professional organization by the Department of Veterans Affairs. As such, you may authorize VA to pay your dues to NAVAPD prorated on a per pay period basis. This means that VA will deduct about $6.15 each pay period from your salary.

If you would like to pay your dues through the VA payroll deduction program, then please download the Request for Payroll Deductions for Professional Organization. Fill out this form and then take it to your Payroll Servicing Office at your VA facility. Please notify service@navapd.org when you have turned this form into your payroll office and then send us a signed copy of your Request for Payroll Deduction.
