Membership Options
WAS has four categories of membership:
organizational, individual, student and honorary
(awarded by WAS).
​
All categories enjoy all the privileges of membership, but only a certain number of organizational member representatives have voting rights in the General Assembly.
​
If your national or local organization is part of a WAS Federation, it is automatically a member of WAS.
Important
WAS is not a certifying body.
​
Individual membership in WAS does not imply that WAS certifies the capabilities of the members.
​
Individual members cannot use membership to promote themselves.
​
For further information, please see the WAS Statutes and Bylaws.
