SWPA has three membership categories and a non-member option.
Persons in all three of the member categories of the Southwestern
Psychological Association may submit abstracts for SWPA presentations
at the upcoming convention or submit abstracts to our adjunct
organizations (Psi Chi, SAMR, SCPA, TPA).
In addition, members receive the SWPA e-newsletter and occasional other
correspondence from the Executive Committee. Members may
also place announcements (non-profit) in the SWPA e-newsletter and on
the SWPA website free of charge; non-member announcements for jobs or
services cost $50.
Non-members may only submit abstracts for adjunct organizations meeting
with SWPA. (Check with the adjunct organizations for any membership
requirements for submission to their part of the program.)
After determining the appropriate member or non-member category (see
member descriptions below):

Full Membership
- Professionals who are current members of national or
international psychological associations, or are members of widely
recognized specialized societies of psychologists are eligible for
membership without the endorsement of a current SWPA member.
- With the endorsement of a current SWPA member, persons may be
eligible for membership if they have completed at least two years of
graduate level work in a recognized program in psychology or from a
program primarily psychological in content (but are not currently a
student in a psychology program), or have completed a master's degree
in psychology from a recognized graduate school.
- Once regular membership is attained, a person may not return to a
different membership level.
- SWPA members are entitled to all rights and privileges of the
Association without restriction.

- New Full Member Offer: If
you are joining for the first time as a full member AND you have been
in the SWPA region for fewer than 3 years, then we offer your first
year of membership free. Please complete a member profile and then

to have him process your free membership. You will still need to pay
registration if you plan to attend the convention.
