Fulfilling its fundamental mandate of providing education to the media and advertising industry, all funds raised by Amasa through annual membership fees and activities go towards activating its Learnership Programme (ALP). The ALP is designed, in conjunction with partner media companies, to invest in the sustained future and growth of young talent in the media industry.

Over and above supporting the ALP through membership contributions, Amasa members receive reduced rates at all workshops and get preferential bookings and special rates for the annual event. Members also receive regular newsletters with industry updates and sneak peeks at upcoming monthly meetings.

Lyn Jones, Amasa’s chairperson explains, “Amasa is dedicated to education and training within the industry and is dependent on membership fees to finance its objectives. We continually strive to keep Amasa memberships affordable for all and look forward to the industry’s continued support throughout 2013.”

Amasa’s 2013 membership rates are:

Corporate membership - R1 200 per year plus R430 per person; and
Individual membership - R 620 per person.

Rates include 14% VAT and although corporate members are entitled to rotate membership cards within the company, a full and detailed list of member names must be supplied on the membership form for Amasa's database. Student members are required to produce proof of enrolment at a registered institution or an official student card.
