FAQ’s

 

Do I have to be a CPA to join?  No,  that is one of the

best features of ASWA.  Non-certified and certified alike can benefit from the shared experience and knowledge each of us brings to the organization.

 

Can I join only at the chapter level? No, you must join both at the national and local chapter level.  If you do not live within 50 miles of a chapter, you may become a member-at-large.
