Benefits of Membership
Your decision to become a member of your state association shows your commitment to the profession by supporting its activities. By joining the MAS, you have chosen to get involved and be heard!    

MAS membership also includes membership in the nation’s foremost associated group of acupuncturists—the American Society of Acupuncturists (ASA). This national organization is dedicated to working with all state associations as a powerful advocate for our profession. Through its quarterly newsletter, you can keep current on professional developments nationwide.

 

As a member of the MAS, you will receive discounts on association sponsored CEU events as well as a 5% discount with Redwing Books and Golden Needle. Your membership also offers you a 10% discount for liability insurance with CM&F.  In addition, these savings from the ASA can help pay for your annual membership:
