AARO Member Benefits

In addition to its core activity of advocacy on behalf of at least 5.5 million Americans living and working abroad, AARO offers benefits to members that can make their life abroad easier and more interesting!

Since its founding in 1973, AARO has advocated to improve treatment by the U.S. government of overseas Americans, and to take their concerns to Washington legislators and policymakers.

When you join AARO, not only are you becoming part of a global community of concerned and committed U.S. citizens but you are also supporting AARO’s work to defend the interests of those citizens.

In addition to incremental steps to educate decision-makers about the adverse effects of some legislation and regulations and the positive effects of others, AARO can point to certain real achievements in its more than five decades of advocacy.

And there are real immediate benefits to AARO membership!

• U.S.-based banking services through our partner, State Department Federal Credit Union (SDFCU), who understands the unique needs of Americans living abroad
• The AARO health insurance program, designed specifically for Americans living overseas
• Our bi-weekly online newsletter, News & Views, that keeps members informed on issues that matter to expats
• Member pricing for all AARO events, both online and in-person
• Access to informative videos of past presentations, available on our website
• Monthly events and social gatherings in Paris, creating opportunities to connect with fellow expats
• A welcome cocktail for members who join during the year
• The opportunity to ask detailed questions to AARO Expats and benefit from their shared experience
• The opportunity to communicate with a knowledgeable AARO employee in our home office either in person or on the phone (no bots!)

And, importantly, the knowledge that you are supporting a worthy cause, an organization dedicated to improving the lives of Americans living abroad with real, proven impact.
