Becoming an AATJ Affiliate
State and regional Japanese language educator organizations can become official affiliates of AATJ by applying for affiliation using this Official Affiliate Application Form.
Affiliates (which must be incorporated and have an organizational bank account) collaborate with AATJ on projects and receive a portion of the dues from AATJ members who choose to join or who live in the regions or states covered by the affiliates. In order to receive a portion of dues income, new affiliates should send their documentation to AATJ by August 31 of the year they become an affiliate.
Affiliates are also requested to update their contact information annually, using this Affiliate Officers Update Form.
