Membership, and membership classification within the ASGS is governed by our Bylaws. Applications for a new membership to the A.S.G.S. must be approved by the Membership Qualifications Committee. For that reason, membership activation is neither immediate or automatic. In general, most applications will be processed within 72 hours. If additional information is required to determine your membership status, the approval time could be longer. In particular, the limitations on the Junior and Student memberships require them to be reviewed each year. Applicants will be issued an invoice when notified of membership status. Membership renewals of current or former members can be accomplished using either the mail/fax form or the online form below. After submitting your application and the review process completed, you will be issued an invoice by the National Office in the appropriate amount for your determined classification.
