If your membership has expired, you may renew by submitting the Membership Application/Renewal form and waiver by mail, email, or fax. Please note: Faxed waivers are accepted for renewing members only. All new members must submit an original signed waiver by mail. The USHPA fax number is (719) 632-6417.
