Membership FAQ's
What is GlueUp?
GlueUp is ACBSP’s member management platform and serves as our official CRM (Customer Relationship Management) system. It gives members greater control and visibility over their membership while allowing the ACBSP National Office to manage memberships, events, and payments in one secure location.
With your GlueUp account, you can:
- Access your personalized member dashboard
- View information and register for ACBSP events while receiving eligible member discounts, including for the Annual Symposium
- Update your contact and directory information in real time (only active 2026 members are currently listed in the directory)
- Enroll in automatic renewal for annual membership dues
- Participate in community discussion boards and connect with fellow ACBSP members
The ACBSP GlueUp platform is fully managed by the ACBSP National Office, and all membership payments are processed directly through this secure system.

Why does my membership say cancelled?
When members were migrated into the new GlueUp system, all accounts were imported as 2025 memberships, which incorrectly showed balances due. These records were manually corrected, and all 2025 memberships were later cancelled as part of the system cleanup. ACBSP statuses have not been cancelled and active status/renewals are now based solely on active 2026 memberships.
I see a $160 invoice from January 6th but am getting emails saying I haven't renewed yet. Why?
When members were migrated into the new GlueUp system, all accounts were initially imported as 2025 memberships. This created invoices and balances due that were not accurate. To correct this, the ACBSP National Office manually marked these invoices as paid. No members were charged during this process, as ACBSP does not store credit card information and was unable to process payments on behalf of members.
As part of the system cleanup, all 2025 memberships were later cancelled. Any 2025 invoices or payment records visible in GlueUp do not represent payment for a 2026 membership renewal.
Membership and certification renewal status is now based solely on an active 2026 memberships. If you have successfully activated your 2026 membership, your renewal requirements have been met. If you have not completed your annual certification maintenance, you will receive weekly email reminders leading up to the renewal deadline.
How do I know if I’ve renewed for 2026?
Accounts displaying “2026 Active CCSP/DACBSP” are fully renewed for 2026. If an active 2026 membership is not shown, renewal can be completed by logging in and using this link: https://app.glueup.com/org/acbsp/memberships/
What is the difference between “Annual Certification Maintenance” and GlueUp memberships?
They are the same thing. GlueUp is now the official membership platform. Instead of completing a separate annual certification maintenance form, all renewals are managed directly within GlueUp accounts. This year requires a one-time setup, but moving forward, renewals will be as simple as clicking “Renew.” Auto-renal can also be enabled within the account settings.
Why am I no longer listed in the online directory?
The directory is now connected directly to GlueUp. Only members with an active 2026 membership appear in the directory. To update your listing, log into GlueUp and edit your profile information (email, phone number, company name, etc.).
