How Group Membership Works

Fill out our group membership application, create a spreadsheet or list with the the first name, last name, and email address for all individuals to be covered, and send both to admin@okpublichealth.org. Do not send payment with application.
Hear back from OPHA staff that your application was approved and receive an invoice for payment.
Submit your payment via check or electronic transfer.
Confirm with your members and OPHA staff that all memberships are activate.
Encourage your members to become engaged!
Renew annually! OPHA staff will contact your organization's primary contact when it's time to renew your group membership. We'll ask you to review your covered members to add or remove individuals who may have left or joined your organization, then we'll share the invoice for the new renewing membership dues!

Pricing

Group membership dues are annual and calculated based on the number of discounted ($25) or regular memberships ($65) purchased and which group rate your organization is eligible for. OPHA is glad to provide a discounted rate for all students, retirees, and CHWs, including for groups. We also offer 25% off for groups with 2-199 members, 35% off for groups with 200+ members, and 45% off for nonprofits and academic programs. For example, a public health department at a university interested in becoming a group member with 10 students and 5 faculty would be calculated as follows: ((10 students * $25/student) + (5 faculty * $65/faculty)) with a 45% discount = $316.25 dues.
