Membership Categories
The preferred method of joining is on line by using the JOIN IASS menu at the top of every page of this website. (Alternatively, one may submit a membership application form by mail to the IASS Secretariat.) On-line payments of fees are by credit card or bank transfer; mailed payments are by bank transfer only. (Renewals must be accomplished by logging in and using the Member Tools > My Profile page of this website.)
NOTE: The formalization of IASS membership has two requirements: (1) All members must have an active email address. (2) All members must explicitly consent to the Data Privacy Policy of the IASS

A note about bundles: The membership database of this website takes advantage of a feature called "bundles" that allows a single representative or leader to manage the membership of a collection of members. Both Collective members and Chapters are bundles within this context. For now, bundles do not have names but are associated instead with the name of the bundle coordinator. To overcome this drawback, the respective pages for Collective Members and Chapters each have a directory that correlates the name of the bundle with the name of the administrator. The bundle coordinator (Collective Representative or Chapter Representative) directly manages the membership of the bundle (Collective Affiliates and Chapter Members, respectively) in the course of editing the profile of the bundle (found by logging in and selecting MEMBER TOOLS) by adding members of the bundle or removing inactive members. [Instructions on how to add bundle members and to delete inactive members are given in the following help file: https://gethelp.wildapricot.com/en/articles/514-bundle-administrator-guide.]
Finally, there are two categories of subscribers that exist only to access the Journal of the IASS:
