Become a Member

There are two ways you can become a member or renew your existing membership in ERICSA. One, by attending the annual conference which enrolls (or renews) you as a member until the next annual conference. Or two, if you are unable to attend the conference there is an online form which requires a $25 payment. Both methods entitle you to all the member benefits.
