WSPA Bylaw and Membership Dues Update

Thank you to the members of the Washington School Personnel Association.  With members like you, we are able to provide a sustainable professional community for human resource professionals across the State of Washington. Only through your support can we continue to offer dynamic, relevant, and meaningful professional development as well as advocate for legislative action that supports education and WSPA endorsed initiatives.

WSPA is committed to providing the most affordable membership rate of all statewide professional service organizations. The WSPA Board carefully and thoughtfully reviewed its membership practices and recommended a small increase to our annual membership fees for the 2018-2019 year. WSPA membership has APPROVED this recommendation by vote of general membership. This will allow us the capacity to strengthen our legislative advocacy by providing a dedicated lobbyist advocating specifically for our members and issues facing our districts.

Individual memberships will increase from $125 to $175 annually

Retiree and Associate memberships will increase from $50 to $100 annually

District memberships will increase from $1100 to $1500 annually

The new membership year begins September 1 and membership renewals will open in August. 

Thank you for your continued support of the WSPA organization, 

Washington School Personnel Association
