Active members are individuals who have paid their annual dues. They can attend all Society meetings, vote on Society matters, hold office, and receive official notices of all meetings.

Sustaining members are public or private individuals or organizations interested in the objectives of the Society, who wish to participate in the activities of the Society and who have remitted their annual sustaining membership dues.

WSWS annual membership dues are $25.00. If you register and attend the annual conference (including separate symposium sessions), membership dues are included in the registration. If you do not attend, $25.00 will keep you on the membership list and provide you with all Society mailings throughout the year. These include the newsletter, Call for Papers, Conference Registration Packet, Conference Program, etc.
