PSAW Membership
The Professional Staff Association of Western (formerly the APA) welcomes active membership by those paying modest annual dues.
The current dues rate is $15 per year. Payment can be made via payroll deduction (recommended) or by check payable to APA (until we complete our rebrand transition).
