AAO Salutes New & Existing Life Active, Life Active 50+ Members

The AAO works hard to understand member needs and provide outstanding membership value and benefits to members. AAO leaders and staff are very grateful for the continuing commitment to membership from more than 85 percent of orthodontists in the United States and many in Canada.

Two membership groups are due for special recognition: Life Active and Life Active 50-Plus members. Criteria for these designations include:

• Life Active members:
  • To be eligible, one must have been a member for 30 or more cumulative years (excluding student status) AND be at least 65 years of age.
  • Life Active Members receive a 40% discount on their AAO dues and assessment. They also receive a certificate and a lapel pin.
• Life Active 50+ members:
  • To be eligible, one must have reached 50 years of cumulative membership (excluding student status).
  • Life Active 50+ Members pay NO dues or assessments. Starting this year, they also receive a plaque commemorating their achievement.
