The VSA Is Updating Your Membership
You want a strong VSA. One with vibrant programming, informative publications, and worthwhile exhibits. You want an organization that helps you connect with the trade. We want that, too. That’s why the VSA’s volunteer leadership is updating the way members like you join and stay connected whether you are a maker, dealer, player, or enthusiast. Starting in 2024, a standard individual VSA membership will be $100 for one year. International memberships will be $125, and student memberships will be $50. This is the first increase since 2009. And if the cost of membership since inception of The VSA in 1974 had kept pace with general inflation, the annual cost would be more than $150 today. The VSA is a registered 501c(3) non-profit organization that adheres to strict accounting and reporting standards for the benefit of stakeholders. And while we’re always working on ways to make The VSA an indispensable resource, here’s what your membership dollars make possible right now:
Renewing your membership in 2024 will not only help guarantee the work we’re already doing to promote the art and science of making, repairing, and preserving string instruments and their bows. It will help us plan the future of the organization with sustainable financial resources.
Lastly, the very best way to have an impact beyond your membership fees is to get involved. We welcome your experiential giving as a convention volunteer, publications contributor, presenter, or committee and board member for the shared benefit of the organization. Please join us to support the mission beyond your membership dues at any time. Sincerely, The Board of Directors Join or Renew Today |
