To ensure that SATSA’s benefits reach far and wide, several cost-effective membership options, depending on annual turnover, are available. We also offer several partnership opportunities.
As an egalitarian body, each paying member's vote has the same impact regardless of membership level.
Membership is automatically renewed yearly unless the member submits a Member Resignation Form to voluntarily suspend or resign their membership.
