Sustaining Connection During Life’s Transitions 

At AHLA, we believe that our strength is in community — and that no one should lose access to essential resources or connections because of an unforeseen setback. Our Member Support Fund exists to help members stay engaged, learning, and connected, even when life takes an unexpected turn. 

What Support Can Cover 

Whether you’re navigating a job change, managing medical expenses, or handling other unexpected changes, the Fund is here to help you maintain access to AHLA’s offerings: 

Membership Support 

• One year of Comprehensive membership (with full access to Practice Groups, live webinars, the Health Law Archive, podcasts, and more) 

Educational Access Support 

• Waiver of registration fees for one in-person or virtual conference (including CLE/CPE credits, downloadable materials, Q&A, networking) 
• Waiver of registration fee for a live webinar (including CLE/CPE credits, downloadable materials)
• Admission to a 101 Course

Who Is This For 

This fund is intended for members who are experiencing a temporary financial challenge, such as: 

• Changes in employment (job loss, reduced hours, rescinded offer) 
• Unanticipated medical or health-related expenses 
• Other life events that limit your ability to cover full membership or registration costs 

To qualify, we ask that you: 

• Demonstrate a continuing commitment to the health law profession 
• Show how AHLA membership or participation in programs will support your professional development 

Our Commitment to Shared Support

To help us support as many members as possible, assistance through the Member Support Fund is available as follows:

• Membership Support: A one-time dues waiver (available once per member)
• Educational Access Support: One educational waiver per fiscal year (for an eligible conference, webinar, or course)

We encourage members to apply for the option that will be most meaningful to them at this time.
