Membership

At SACNAS, diversity, equity, and inclusion are not abstract concepts or buzz words. They are values and the heartbeat of our programs. They are part of our DNA. We create space where STEM students and professionals who have been minoritized can feel like they belong, can embrace their intersectional identities, and be empowered to bring their whole selves to STEM.

Member dues represent an investment in yourself and in your community. All prices are listed above and all memberships are an an automatic-renewal basis until you cancel.

“SACNISTA” is a term we use to refer to our members. It comes from adding “-ista” to the organization’s name “SACNAS”. Adding this suffix indicates that SACNISTAs (or members) are people who share SACNAS’ values and passion for diversity, inclusion, and equity in STEM. SACNISTAs bring their full authentic selves to our community to inspire and support one another. Anyone can be a SACNISTA— just click above to join us as a member!
