REMINDER: RENEW YOUR PsySSA MEMBERSHIP AND RETAIN YOUR MEMBERSHIP BENEFITS
Members who have not as yet renewed their PsySSA membership are urged to do so as soon as possible in order to avoid losing membership benefits.
As you know PsySSA is the only representative professional body of psychologists nationally.
