ASA Building Facelift
ASA's office building was starting to show its age (20 years old), with some significant cracks in the stucco. We've completed some repairs, which included a new layer of stucco with new colors. Also, with the help of our tenant, 1GPA, we were able to replace furniture in our training and conference rooms. We appreciate the great support and partnership with 1GPA!

Membership Renewals for 2024-25
Since many of you like to pay for your ASA membership dues early, before your district stops issuing purchase orders, we have opened up the renewals now for FY25. All memberships run July 1 through June 30 (except for business partner agreements). We also facilitate renewals for NAESP, NASSP and AASA as a service to you so you can do them all in one transaction.
There is a change for this year. We have converted the dues structure from a tiered system based on salary ranges to a percentage, with a cap. This means some of you will see a reduction in your dues while some of you will see small increases. This will make membership more affordable for beginning administrators with lower salaries and eliminate the need to adjust the tiers. In order to help make the process as easy as possible for you, we have created an instructional video, a set of instructions with screenshots, a reference document summarizing the changes and a dues calculator so you can have the amount in advance to get a purchase order secured before renewing. The dues for Associate, Graduate Student and Retired members have not changed.
Each Active member will need to log into our membership system to renew his/her membership by July 1, 2024 to maintain continuous membership. We will give a grace period in July for those of you who need to renew in FY25.
If you are trying to renew memberships for multiple people in your school/district and need help, please call the ASA office for assistance.
Click HERE for the summary of dues changes, membership renewal instructions, dues calculator and a membership renewal video.
If you have any questions or need any assistance, please call the ASA office at 602-252-0361 so we can help. We have expanded our services to support members and will continue to seek ways to add value to your ASA membership. Thank you for being a member and for the important work you do!
