Ready to join AASRO or renew your membership?
AASRO is an association of organizations, not individuals. Membership follows the calendar year with annual dues paid by January 1st. Member organizations must meet certain criteria (listed in the by-laws) or must submit a petition in writing to the Executive Committee’s Membership Coordinator explaining what criteria they may not meet and why they should still be a member.
