PSA Annual Membership and Registration/Conference Fee

PSA 2023-2024 Fees and Information

PSA has a new website and membership portal through Wild Apricot. You can visit our new site by clicking here. At our new site, you can pay your membership fees for 2023-2024 online and you can register for PSA 2024. You must submit your membership fees on our new system before it will allow you to register for the conference.

PSA aims to keep membership and conference participation affordable. However, the costs to keep PSA going and hold the annual conference are rising. The PSA Council made some adjustments to fees for this year, where persons who are students or lower income faculty/other professionals pay low fees while faculty/other professionals in higher income brackets pay higher fees. In addition, the Council created a special fee for Emerita/Emeritus/Retired Sociologists.
