Becoming A Member

ASA as an industry and employer association provides a wide variety of services.  With few exceptions, the benefits ASA members receive from their membership is a direct function of how much they use the Association and how much they contribute to the knowledge bank and work of the Association.

All ASA members have different reasons for joining.  Some benefit from the “collective” nature of the membership, others have specific needs and interests.

As a member of ASA, your organisation will find exactly the services that are of value to your company and the level of participation you are comfortable with.

Membership categories

Associate – this category applies to a company/individual that is not eligible for admission as a Principal member or Commercial member but who, in the opinion of the Principal members, would benefit the objectives of the Association.
