General membership conditions
Members must follow the HAA(S) Constitution. Resignation requires one month's written notice to the Secretary or Membership Officer, and outstanding amounts remain payable. Serious misconduct or breaches may lead to disciplinary action under the Constitution, with an opportunity to respond.
Exact fee amounts, programme availability, and any additional administrative requirements should be confirmed with the Association; the Constitution does not set a fixed fee for every membership category.
