​
How are PAAG member dues used?
Member dues are the PAAG’s primary source of income, essential for keeping the club running smoothly and successfully.
Your contributions cover three main areas:
-
Events: Funding logistical and speaker expenses for our gatherings.
-
Administration: Covering necessary costs such as website maintenance and bank fees.
-
Summer Work Program (SWP): Supporting the participation of SWP students in the Summer Event, helping foster networking between current members and future professionals.
In short, your dues not only secure the club’s operations but also strengthen the exchange between generations of Princeton alumni in Germany and SWP participants.
​
Can I deduct the membership fee from my taxes?
Yes. The PAAG is a registered tax-exempt organization. See the Legal page or the membership form (button above) for more information.​​​
​​
Can I join PAAG events even if I'm not a member?
Yes. However, some events may have discounted rates for members. ​
​​
Am I already a member as a Princeton alumna/us living in Germany?​
As a Princeton alumnus/alumna living in Germany you are not automatically a member of the PAA of Germany. You become a member by submitting the application and paying the annual dues. We compile our official membership list on the basis of the bank transfers.
​
How do I cancel my membership?
If you have not transferred dues within a given calendar year, we assume that you no longer want to be a member and will remove your name from the membership list.
How do I check my membership status?
Please email wkonrad@alumni.princeton.edu.
​
If I'm not a member, will I still receive emails from the club about upcoming events?
All Princeton alumni are automatically added to the mailing list based on records provided by the Princeton Alumni Association. If you live close to one of our regional Chapters (Berlin-Brandenburg, Munich, and Rhein-Main), you will receive information about local events. If you have questions about your subscription, email wkonrad@alumni.princeton.edu.
