Candidate Membership
Candidate membership is designed for those undertaking the educational and experience requirements to become an Accredited Member (AM) or Accredited Senior Appraiser (ASA).
Membership Requirements
Candidates and Affiliates must be of legal age, interested in the activities and objectives of the society, and of good character. They shall have established financial responsibility and residence and business experience in the community.

ASA dues and fees vary according to the category of membership.
In recent years, the ASA has created new membership types for friends, professionals and service providers that wish to broaden their networks and benefit from the programs, services and activities offered to ASA members. Learn more here.
