Trial Membership

Would you like to gain a broader understanding of the Crop Science Society of America and how a membership will benefit your career, your research, and how it is valuable from an inter-disciplinary perspective? CSSA is pleased to now offer a trial membership – one that provides an in-depth look our membership and associated benefits, without the up-front commitment of member dues. The Trial Membership, while not a full membership, gives you the opportunity to take a tour, become familiar with CSSA, our members, and our benefits. If you like what you see and believe, as we do, that this is a valuable addition to your networking and information needs, join and become a member. The Trial Membership offers you the following:

  • Electronic communications include the bi-weekly Newsflash with information on society activities and affiliated news and the Science Policy Report with an update on capitol hill activities, agency news, funding opportunities and more;
  • Electronic access to our member magazine, CSA News, and
  • Join and become involved in any of our scientific communities,
  • Call the Membership Office at 608-273-8080 to sign-up for a 30-day Online Library trial subscription,
  • Receive specialized announcements of CSSA programs and services that may be of interest.

Of course, we'll also provide membership information along the way so that when you are ready to join, you'll have the information at your fingertips to do so.

*Note that the trial membership does not provide voting rights, nor eligibility to hold office or serve on committees, or nominate/be nominated for most awards and scholarships. In addition, trial memberships do not provide member discounts on subscriptions, publications, or meetings.

*You may access this trial membership one time, for 6 months (a great opportunity), and current/former members are not eligible.

You must have an account and be logged in to activate your trial membership.
