The PSA Member Service function was created to make the extensive PSA services more understandable and available to members.  PSA Member Services provides “Welcome Emails” to members in their first year of membership and serves as a resource guide to help direct you to the best person to answer your questions.

Please consult our ever-growing list of questions (below) for quick answers to your questions or email the Director of Member services at: member-services@psa-photo.org for assistance.
