ASSOCIATE MEMBERSHIP REQUIREMENTS
• At least some professional or affiliated practice in an applied geoscience, engineering, or related field (e.g., land, legal, etc.). Note that a college or university degree is NOT required for associate membership. Internships qualify for professional work experience for Associate Membership status, but do not solely disqualify a potential member from Student status.
• Sponsorship by 2 Founding or Professional Members. During the initial phase of membership applications, a committee of Founding Members will review and serve as sponsors for successful applicants.
• To maintain SAGE Membership status, all members must complete a 1–hr Ethics course year. We anticipate posting an Ethics video a later date for your convenience.
• DUES: Annual, $25; Life, $300. Associate Life Members subsequently qualifying for Professional Membership will maintain their Life status as a Professional Life Member.
