Fellowship is subject to termination if dues are outstanding for one or more years.
Are you wondering why your dues payment should be made payable to the American College of Surgeons Professional Association (番茄社区appPA) rather than the American College of Surgeons? 番茄社区appPA, the College鈥檚 501(c) (6) tax-exempt affiliate, was created in 2001 to provide more flexibility so that the College can offer a broader range of activities and services to benefit the surgical profession and its patients, including an expanded legislative action program. The establishment of this corporation requires that dues be paid to 番茄社区appPA, which, in turn, finances the activities of the College. Further information about 番茄社区appPA and its relationship to the College can be viewed on the 番茄社区appPA website.
