Here is Just one of the Benefits of Joining AASA-Legal Benefits

When you join or renew your MASA membership, you can also opt into AASA and access its many member benefits—including comprehensive legal support. For an overview of the “Legal Support Program” and other available legal related services, please see the one-pager linked here.

Reminder: MASA Members – Renew Your Membership by September 2!

Because conference rates differ for members and nonmembers, MASA staff need to know if you’ll renew your membership by September 2. Please renew by that date to ensure uninterrupted communications and access to all MASA benefits. Thank you!

Who are Your MASA Region Leaders?

From time to time, MASA staff need to connect with regional leaders. Please send us the names and contact information of your region’s leaders at your earliest convenience to taylor.ethen@mnasa.org. Thank you!
