Organizations Associated with the ASA

ASA COORDINATE ORGANIZATIONS

Coordinate Organizations build communities around specific areas or interests within the field of African Studies with the primary focus of facilitating the exchange of ideas, information, and research findings. They function as autonomous elements of the Association, bound by the Association’s policies and procedures and legal status. They are legally covered by the ASA’s 501(c)3 status and as such, must maintain all banking within ASA’s to be audit compliant. Coordinate Organizations must maintain consistent by-laws, filed with the ASA Secretariat and contribute at least 6% of their year-end balance for financial management fees. All Coordinate Organizations submit a brief annual report by February 1. Coordinate Organizations receive two sponsored panels without review for each Annual Meeting, and are welcome to submit others for review. To become a Coordinate or Affiliate Organization fill out our application.
