Join

Join SAMA as a Professional, Allied, Student, or Supporting Member.

Options for joining SAMA have been crafted to honor the diversity of our respective fields and the growing interest and support of our various professional competencies. There are three levels of SAMA Membership from which to choose. Professional Membership is offered to qualified individuals and organizations incorporating the intentional use of sound and music in their work. Allied members are individuals and organizations not primarily focusing on sound and music and are interested in these fields. Student Members are studying to become professionals in the field. SAMA also welcomes those who choose to become “Supporters” of our association.

Professional Members

You may become a professional member as an individual, an organization, or as a product producer if your primary work directly uses intentional sound and music. SAMA professionals are dedicated voting members who can experience the personal satisfaction of knowing that through their involvement and their vote, they are shaping the future of the Sound and Music Alliance in a vital and engaging way. Professional membership requires a formal application.

Three Categories of Professional Membership:

• Professional Individual
• Professional Organization
• Schools

Allied Members
If you are a professional working in a related field and interested in intentional music or sound practices, come bring your expertise and gain new perspectives.

Two Categories of Allied Membership:

• Allied Individual
• Allied Organization

Student Members
Any individual involved in an active study, oral or written, formal or informal may apply for a Student Membership.

SAMA Supporting Members
SAMA offers the opportunity for everyone to join as a SAMA Supporting Member. Under this category, you will learn about the new innovations in intentional sound and music. SAMA Supporting members receive advance notice of news, announcements and educational/outreach events. SAMA Supporting members do not receive membership benefits or a listing in the membership directory.

There are two additional SAMA categories that are bestowed.

• Emeritus – These individuals are chosen based upon their distinguished service to SAMA.
• SAMA Luminaries – This lifetime distinction and membership is extended by the SAMA Board of Directors to publicly recognize the sustained services and commitments of honored individuals.

All SAMA members agree to abide by and uphold the SAMA Code of Ethics.
