Section Membership FAQs

For more detailed information about APSA Organized Section management policies and procedures, please refer to the Organized Section Handbook.

If neither the FAQs nor the Handbook can furnish you with the information you require, please contact the Organized Sections Liaison at sections@apsanet.org.)

How can I join an Organized Section? It's easy! If you are already a member of APSA, login to MyAPSA (use  area at at top of site pages) and sign up to join another Section.

If you are not a member of APSA, you will have to become a member of APSA and to join any or all of the Organized Sections that interest you. See the Membership section for further details.

I can't remember which sections I joined. How can I find out? Login to MyAPSA (see the   area at top of site pages).  Your MyAPSA page lists your section memberhip.  If you don't see what you expect to see, contact the APSA membership office at membership@apsanet.org and we'll check for you.

I want to make sure I re-join the same sections as last year. How do I do that? When your renewal form arrives, it will list all your previous year's section memberships right below the address block. Also, if you log-in to myAPSA, a page will pop up with all your previous Section memberships so you can easily choose to join again.

I haven't been receiving my section materials. Who do I contact to fix it? First, log-in to MyAPSA and check to make sure our database both lists your correct mailing and/or email address and includes you as a current member of the Section in question. If you are not listed and want to join, you can do so through myAPSA. Or, if you remember joining at a prior date and feel that you should already be listed as a current member, contact the APSA membership office at membership@apsanet.org and they can correct the error. If you are a Section member and APSA has your correct contact information, you will then need to contact the Chair of the Section in question to find out where your materials went awry. You can find his/her contact information on the section's area of this website. The APSA National Office neither produces nor distributes section materials.
