Frequently Asked Questions

Students often have questions regarding their Academy or Washington State Academy membership.

I am a student Academy member - how do I become a Washington State member? 
Your national/Academy dues include state/affiliate membership.  When you pay your dues, you select your state.  There is no additional charge.

I would love to job-shadow someone.  Is that possible? 
As a student Washington State Academy member, you have access to the members-only mentor section of the website.  You can search for a specific geographical or practice area.  Check with one of the listed mentors - they may be willing to have you job-shadow.

I am planning on attending conference.  Are there volunteer opportunities at conference that might reduce my registration rate? 
The Washington State Academy works hard to keep registration rates as low as possible for convention - especially for students.  At this time, we do not have volunteer positions that would further reduce fees. The one exception is if you are serving as a Student Executive Board representative, your registration to conference is complimentary.

Welcome to the 2025-2026 membership year! This year we plan to work at the state and district levels to increase opportunities for member engagement and collaboration, culminating with an in-person conference in Vancouver. Follow us on social media and watch for your monthly e-blast to stay informed and involved. We are excited to work for you and look forward to connecting with WA State Academy members this year.
