Explore Life Membership

Member because I realized, at about the mid-point of my career, that I had been a member for a number of years and wanted to continue to be a part of the AATG for many more to come.

-Cornelius Partsch

Members with a long-term commitment to teaching German can benefit from the AATG Life Membership. Life Members get full access to AATG member benefits for a lifetime and never worry about making annual dues payments.

A: AATG Life Membership costs $1750 in 2021. The average AATG member will spend more than $3500 in membership dues over their career. This value membership provides you with long-term savings and guarantees you full access to member benefits for the rest of your life.

Q: What financing options are available? A: You are working hard, and we want to support you. AATG offers flexible payment plans so that you can pay for your Life Membership over time. Contact Marisa Minard (marisa@aatg.org) if you would like to get started or learn more about our payment plan options.

I decided to become a life member of AATG because: it is a wonderful organization; AATG works hard to support teachers of German; together we make AATG better, and a one-time contribution made sense economically and logistically— I didn’t have to remember to pay every year.
