A membership with the Asian Neuropsychological Association not only helps support the organization but also gives you access to certain features and resources only available to members. The ANA has been working hard to advocate for our community of professionals and trainees; establish resources for the communities we serve; and develop infrastructure to leverage resources for our membership.
