When you join ASTA, you are not simply joining a national
organization of approximately 12,000 members. Your ASTA membership
also includes membership in your local state chapter. State
chapters are often able to address local issues that the national office
cannot. Members should feel free to contact their local state
chapter.
ASTA membership is divided into 49 state chapters. There are 49,
rather than 50, because Pennsylvania and Delaware are a combined
chapter. Washington, D.C. is part of the Maryland
chapter. Chapters differ greatly with regard to their member
profiles. Some states consist largely of private studio teachers,
while others are mainly composed of public school teachers. Since
the demographics of our states vary greatly, our state chapters are
able to focus on the issues most important to their members. The
state chapter dynamic of ASTA is a great way to ensure that the needs of
ASTA members are met on all levels.
