About JASNA Memberships
  • An Annual Membership starts on the date the membership is processed and expires one year later. For example, a membership that starts on June 1 will be active through May 31 of the following year. When a membership is renewed before it expires, the new membership term will start after the current membership year is completed.
  • If you join or renew with a "digital" membership, you will not receive printed publications; we will notify you by email when the digital edition of a publication is available to read online or download from the JASNA Member Portal. 
  • A current membership cannot be "upgraded" to include printed publications or changed to a "digital" membership during the membership's term. Changes can be made when a membership is renewed.
  • All JASNA members can access and download digital copies of our publications, JASNA News and Persuasions, through the Member Portal. If you are enrolled in a membership that includes printed copies of Persuasions and JASNA News, you will receive them by mail as well. If you would like to opt out of receiving paper copies of one or both publications, you can change your publication preferences in your Member Portal profile. Prorated refunds are not available.
