Membership is open to anyone with an interest in social insects. While the North American Section is principally intended to serve Canada, Mexico and the United States, we happily accept members from other countries. However, we do encourage interested individuals to explore whether there might be a section closer to them that could better serve their needs.
Please renew membership annually at the start of each calendar year.
Join or renew your membership in 2 easy steps:
- Fill out the “NAS-IUSSI member information” form

Membership status is not automatically updated on the website and is updated manually in batches. Your PayPal receipt is your indication that your membership has been renewed.
