ROA offers two different membership types – Associate and Regular. Associate membership has limitations, while Regular membership offers full privileges of membership.
Associate Membership
Any individual who qualifies for Regular membership, is under 35 years of age, and has not previously been a member of the association, is eligible for Associate membership. Associate membership
is free of charge and has a maximum term of five years, or until the member reaches the age of 35. Associate members have all the rights and privileges of Regular members except serving
as an elected or appointed officer, voting at a national convention, and receiving printed publications.
Term membership offers the flexibility to pay as you go. Rates are per ROA’s fiscal year, which ends 31 March. Your first year of dues will be prorated so you pay only for the days remaining in the fiscal year.
Becoming an ROA life Member is the ultimate commitment to our cause. Life members are the backbone of our association, representing our most engaged and passionate members.
