There are multiple ways to be involved in the MSA!
1. Participate in the Annual Meeting:
-
Attend and possibly present at our yearly annual meetings held in the fall. Conference registration fees include membership in the MSA. All members are also welcome to attend the general board meeting held at the end of the conference day. We also encourage people to consider volunteering to participate in the MSA board.
2. Become a member without attending the annual meeting:
