How to Join
Applicants for Ordinary and Associate membership can apply online via the Application button. If you meet the criteria, membership is automatic—no formal nomination process is required. Annual subscriptions are invoiced by the National Secretariat.
We encourage prospective members to attend a regional meeting of one of our four branches before joining. This is a great way to experience the benefits of membership and understand the values of the Association. To arrange attendance, please contact the appropriate regional secretary or president listed under Partners Regional Contacts on this site.
