How To Become an AILACTE Member or to Renew your membership:

In order to become a member, new and returning institutions simply complete the membership renewal process online and send credit card payment or check, as directed, to AILACTE's Executive Assistant. In order to determine whether the institution is entitled to full or affiliate membership, please review AILACTE's Constitution and Bylaws (Article III).
