  6. Section Membership Drive When inviting membership renewal, APSA will soon include Section 42 along with other sections APSA recently added Section 42 to its website Although we received 450+ petition signatures, we must now obtain 250+ dues-paying members over the next year in order to avoid the dreaded “probation”
