a ASA membership data for 2002 does not include newly joined members. Only retained members from 2001are included.
Regular ASA members pay dues according to their annual income. This table presents the proportion of male and female ASA regular members in each dues category. The percentage of women regular members is a few percentage points higher than for the men for lower-income categories A through D ($54,000 or less). Category E ($55,000-$69,999) is near parity across the years, while Category F, the highest income category ($70,000 or more), is about 1.5 times as likely to be male.
