According the ASA bylaws, membership in the Association is unlimited in number and open to all resident Albertans. Individuals must be 16 years or more of age. A person under the age of 18 years who is admitted as a member of the Association is liable to the payment of fees and otherwise liable under the rules of the Association as if he were an adult.
Membership shall be for a period of one year beginning October 1st of the current year and ending September 30th the following year.
There are several categories of membership:

Any member wishing to withdraw from membership may do so upon notice in writing to the Board of Directors through its secretary. If any member is in arrears for fees or assessment for thirty (30) days or more after payment is due, such member, without notice, shall be automatically suspended and shall thereafter be entitled to no membership privileges or powers in the Association until reinstated. Any member upon two-thirds vote of all members of the Association in good standing may be expelled from membership for any cause which the Association may deem reasonable.

Associate members shall be entitled to receive notice of and attend meetings of members but shall not be entitled to vote.
