The National Apartment Association Education Institute (NAAEI) is the centralized administrator for all credential programs. Every year, when your credential renewal is due, NAAEI will send you an email reminder to pay your renewal fees (see below). You can easily pay online via the link in the email. Additionally, you may need to submit proof of Continuing Education Credits (CEC) taken that year. Here is more information on what types of CECs are accepted by NAAEI. BAAA offers all of the required education and more for all credential renewals. See below on how to pull your CEC report from your BAAA member compass online. This can be submitted to renewals@naahq.org for proof of CECs.
CALP & CAS: 5 CEC, $50 renewal | CAPS & CAM: 8 CEC, $100 renewal | CAMT: lifetime credential with no CEC requirements or renewal fee.

Billing/Payments
Membership dues are billed in November each year and are due January 1st of the membership year.
While you do pay Blue Moon directly for the usage fee, membership with your local apartment association is required to be able to use the lease. This is why you receive a separate invoice from BAAA.
*note: Blue Moon usage fees are billed on an anniversary basis
