The membership of this organization shall be of four classes: Regular, Associate, Supporting, Student/New Graduate.
A regular member shall be a naturopathic physician who meets either/both of the following criteria:
• S/He shall be a graduate of a college of naturopathic medicine recognized by the AANP or the CNME; AND s/he shall have passed the AANP recognized national medical licensing exam. In the case where a college no longer exists and therefore is not eligible for review by the CNME, alumni of the college may apply to the AANP Board of Directors or the Federation of Naturopathic Medical Licensing Boards for evaluation/recognition of their educational program. The AANP will approve colleges which have been recognized by a state for purposes of licensure. Recognition of such colleges for purposes related to membership eligibility, where such college is not recognized by the CNME, in no way speaks to a graduate's qualifications to practice naturopathic medicine, nor to their qualifications for licensure as a physician.
• S/He shall hold a license as a naturopathic physician in the State of Colorado , or if no such license is currently available in the State of Colorado , s/he shall hold a valid license from a State or jurisdiction whose license is acceptable to the AANP.
An associate member shall meet one of the following criteria:
• S/He shall be a naturopathic physician who is a graduate of a naturopathic medical college recognized by the AANP or the CNME.
• S/He shall be a naturopathic physician holding a current license from a State or jurisdiction whose license is acceptable to the AANP.
• S/He shall be a naturopathic physician substantially retired from a practice of naturopathic medicine which provided their primary source of livelihood for a period of five or more years.
• Other individuals who believe in the principles of, and wish to forward the interest of naturopathic medicine as defined in these Bylaws, and who have practiced naturopathic medicine as their primary source of livelihood for a period of five or more years.
Associate members shall have a voice in the meetings and business of the Association; Associate members are not eligible to vote on Association matters, nor to hold Association office; Associate members are not eligible to be elected by their Association's membership as State Association delegates to the AANP house of delegates.

The annual dues shall be payable in advance on or before the first day of the fiscal year. The Association officers may provide for payments in quarterly or other periodic installments. Extra dues payments not to exceed 15% of the amount otherwise due may be assessed for payment in installments or for payments received more than 90 days after they are due.
