You can now have online discussions with other SASPA members as part of the SASPA Online facilities. Click on the "Members' Forums" menu item above, and a new window will open with the Forum Index page.

To register, you can click on the "Register" link on the screen and complete the registration process. If you would like some assistance, you can click on the "Public Forum" heading, wait for the new window to open, and then click on the "User's Guide - SASPA Forums" link.

The forums provide you with a secure environment in which to discuss topics of interest to members, seek help, advice, and suggestions from other members, and to reply to requests from other members. Only members of SASPA can register to use the forums, but we suggest that you confine your postings to professional topics. The website manager will monitor the forums and is available to offer assistance if required.
