Lowering Barriers to Entry

19 11 2008

The two main barriers to entry for new WAPA members have been identified to be initial cost and licencing requirements.

Because WAPA is on an active drive to sign-up more members we have changed the initial membership fee structure as agreed at our AGM last week.

A R2000 initial membership fee has been removed and we have a new process to help members without the required licensing apply and register for their licences.

Have a look at our Join WAPA page for more information.

WAPA membership grew from 33 members in 2007 to 44 members in 2008.. 33% growth. We would like to see a 50%+ growth rate in 2009.
