Q. What is the difference between a Regular Membership and an Institutional Membership?

Regular Membership - This is a non transferable membership that is connected to a specific person. This means they may be certified in the areas of PAM Certification. This membership also stays with the person if they change jobs and/or churches. NOTE: Due to legal reasons, Regular Members are not able to submit job openings to our job listings. Only Institutional Members have that privilege.

NOTE: All registered adults at our Montreat, Westminster, or Mo-Ranch/PAM conferences automatically become members of PAM for one year.
