Membership with SASA is open to all individuals and bodies having an interest in the goals of the Association. Applications for membership of the South African Statistical Association are considered by the Executive Committee of the Association.

The Association has four membership categories, which last from 1 April to 31 March each year:

• Ordinary Membership: Any individual having an interest in the mission and goals of the Association.

• Senior Membership: Any member who has reached the age of 65 and who was a member for the 10 preceding years before turning 65, may apply for senior membership of the Association.

• Student Membership: Any registered student having an interest in the mission and goals of the Association. Your name, in this case, will not appear on our website as a member of SASA.

  • Affiliated Membership: Open to companies, societies and other organisations having an interest in the aims of the Association. 

The membership fee for Ordinary, Senior, and Affiliate membership includes a subscription to the SASA newsletter (3 per annum) and the SASA Journal (2 per annum). An "Affiliated membership" also means that two delegates can attend the conference at the reduced fee for the conference of that year (same fee as an ordinary member). The membership fee for Student membership includes a subscription to the SASA newsletter only (3 per annum). Student membership allows for registration as a student delegate at the conference.

Ordinary, Senior, and Affiliate memberships are automatically renewed by payment of membership fees before 31 March each year. While for Student membership, please note that, a member only qualifies for membership if they are a full-time student working non-permanently 12 or less hours a week which confirmed by a letter from the relevant HOD. The student must be registered for a degree in statistics or a closely related field as recognised by the EC. This is valid up to PhD level, and needs to be renewed every year.

Please email membership@sastat.org for any queries relating to membership.
