Online Membership Application

Instructions

Please review all membership options before continuing with the form.  For Student applications please visit the student site for instructions and an application link. 

Important Payment Information: 

  • Credit cards used for payment will be stored on file and used for annual renewals. Payment monitoring is the member's responsibility. It is also the member's responsibility to drop their membership at the end of their annual term (before auto-renewal) if desired.
  • SSWAA makes every effort to create options for all financial situations. When selecting installment payments (monthly, quarterly or semiannually), please note a credit card automatic charge will be required to assist with the timely payment of installments. 
  • All memberships are for one year, regardless of membership type, installation, or one-time payment. 
  • The use of company credit cards is discouraged. To avoid unauthorized automatic charges, while still having your district pay for membership, select Invoice Me, and email the invoice to your district. 

Please consider the use of a personal email to prevent communication barriers due to changes in employment or district blocking @sswaa contacts.

**Memberships purchased are for one year and are non-transferable and non-refundable.
