Your Investment in Success
ABHL offers membership to individuals and institutions interested in community college issues. Membership is open to institutions, individuals, and organizations and is renewable annually.
Membership options available:
- Institutional Member
- Educational Associate
- Individual Associate
- Corporate Program
Institutional Member
Open to 2-year, associate degree-granting colleges accredited (or in the process of accreditation) by one of the six regional accrediting agencies. Dues are based on a 3-year moving average calculation of adjusted enrollment data (based on IPEDS) to reduce variation in member dues during periods of significant enrollment change. Adjusted enrollment is calculated by adding full-time students to three-fourths the number of part-time students.
State Agencies
State agency dues are $2,410. If all public colleges in a state system are ABHL members, the agency’s membership is complimentary.
Multi-campus Colleges
A campus of a member, multi-campus college may join as an Institutional Member for $5,410.
District Offices
District offices of multi-college systems automatically become Institutional Members when all district colleges join. The district office may join independently for $2,410 when at least half of the district colleges are members.
Educational Associate
Open to any nonprofit organization interested in education issues or any educational institution not eligible for Institutional Membership. Subject to approval.
Individual Associate
Open to trustees, administrators, and other individuals interested in higher education issues and trends.
