If you are interested in nominating yourself or a colleague please email Sharon Sassler (Sharon.sassler@cornell.edu).

Each year we elect a new student council member, two council members, and a chair.

​The deadline for nominations is December 2, 2015.

We are currently 746 members strong! If we reach 800 members by Oct. 1st we will be allotted an extra session at ASA 2016. Please consider sponsoring students ($6) or colleagues ($12) to help us reach our goal.
​
Log into the ASA page. Select “Family” from the list of sections, and click on “To search for or add a new individual, please click here.” Once you have selected a name the system will let you know if they already a member or not.

It’s that time of year again—when we start to worry about dwindling section membership. All sections have lost members but it’s so important to keep our numbers up because this determines how many sessions we have each year. Please be sure to renew your membership and consider sponsoring others, especially graduate students. It’s easy to do.

For instructions on gifting a membership, visit ASA Gift Section.

Once you're logged in, you can choose a section, then search the member database by name. Only current ASA members (and those who are not already members of the selected section) are eligible to receive a gift section membership. You may purchase several memberships at one time, with an easy checkout and payment process within the secure ASA database. Section memberships will be activated immediately; recipients will receive an e-mail notifying them of the gift. Grad students love this kind of thing!
