You don't have to become a member right away.

If you first want to get a better idea of what it's like to be a PSASA member:

  • attend our next Orientation meeting to get a broad overview of the PSASA and all it has to offer, and
  • attend a PSASA Chapter meeting as our guest.

You can register for both of these on the PSASA Events page.
