This proposal recommends transitioning WASFAA from an individual-based membership structure to an institutional membership model. The goal is to increase equity, simplify administration, and enhance association engagement across the membership. The proposed model introduces a tiered fee structure based on membership type and institution FTE as reported to IPEDS, ensuring accessibility and sustainability.
