How to Join?

You can join PAMLA via our Online Registration System created by our Ballast Academic partners. Our registration and payment system requires that you first Create a User Account, and then click on the Registration & Membership tab to join PAMLA and pay the conference fees. You may also use this new system to make a donation to our PAMLA Scholarship Fund, which helps graduate students to attend our annual conference.

If you have any questions about your payment status or should you experience any problems with paying, please feel free to contact PAMLA’s Executive Director, Craig Svonkin by sending an email to [email protected] or by calling him at (626) 354-7526.

For those interested, please do check out our Payment Deadlines and Dues Chart.

Thank you for your support of PAMLA.
