Join the NJSOP

Membership

Organized optometry is a federation of affiliated organizations on the national ( American Optometric Association), state ( New Jersey Society of Optometric Physicians) and local society level. Each member is required to maintain membership in good standing with all three organizations. Each organization sets its own dues level. NJSOP bills and collects dues for both NJSOP and AOA. Local societies, however, bill and collect their own dues.

Dues Structure

Dues are calculated based on the ORIGINAL year of licensure (in any state). 

Current Year Newly Licensed Doctors - Annual dues are waived for the year.  The following year you would be billed at the 1st year dues level.

Doctors applying for membership licensed 1 - 5 years would be billed at the corresponding dues level (1st year - 5th year).

Doctors applying for membership who have been licensed for more than 5 years would be billed at the full dues rate (6th year level).   

All new member dues are pro‑rated based on the month membership is approved regardless of their dues level.
