- Code of Ethics
In an effort to accommodate the monetary difficulties faced by some people, AAPG dues are based upon the individual’s ability to pay. The Gross Personal Income (GPI) is the basis for the amount of dues collected. This is an honor-based system so no proof of GPI is required. Falsification of this information is a violation of AAPG Code of Ethics.
