Changes to How You Join Our Membership
In order to keep members involved in the LSA during non-conference years and, in particular, to ensure that we have sufficient membership quorum to run elections of our executive committee every other year, we moved last year (2024) to a two-year membership (see Membership Legacy Plan below).
New LSA membership terms and conditions have been updated as of January 1st, 2025. These changes reflect member feedback and aim to simplify the membership process. We thank you for your continuing support.
MEMBERSHIP LEGACY PLANS
If you purchased an LSA membership between October 13, 2023 and December 31, 2024 you are part of the Membership Legacy Plan. You can check to see if you have a Legacy Plan, by login into your account and clicking on your account subscription tab. Legacy Plan members will have an “LP” at the end of their membership type (e.g. Student LP or Faculty A LP). Membership subscriptions (except Lifetime membership) are for two years. Legacy plan members pay for the first year initially and are automatically renewed at the same price for an additional year. The term of the membership for all members (except Lifetime memberships) will be rolling. That is, if someone joins (purchases a membership) on January 10, 2023, the membership will renew and be billed on January 10, 2024 to pay for the second year of membership. In this scenario, membership will expire on January 10, 2025 and will not be renewed. All plans have a 28 day Grace Period in which your membership will remain active after your expiration date. After your membership expires, you may sign up for a New 2025 Membership Plan as described below.
NEW 2025 MEMBERSHIP PLANS
If you purchased a new LSA membership on or after January 1, 2025 you are part of the New 2025 Membership plan. Membership subscriptions (except Lifetime membership) are for 2 years. This is a single payment that covers 2 years of membership and has no auto-renew. For example if you purchase a new membership on January 30, 2025, your membership will be active until January 30, 2027. All plans have a 28 day Grace Period in which your membership will remain active after your expiration date.

Members must create their own account with their own unique email address. Even if your department pays for several colleagues, each member must create their account by using the member’s own email address. We do NOT allow shared membership accounts.

Updating your email address. If you are transitioning to another institution and you are using an institution email address, please update your email address to the new one while you have access to both (old and new) email address accounts. Alternatively, you can use a non-institutional email address like a gmail address. Please read this section for more information.
