Benefits of OSA Membership

Members are a critical body of OSA, and they often serve on various roles to ensure that OSA continues to meet its mission. Standing members receive a yearly journal (Journal of Oromo Studies- JOS) and  discount towards any OSA conference. Most importantly, OSA members join an intellectual community where they have ample time to network and exchange ideas.

Other benefits include:

• Vote and/or Nominate OSA Executive Officers and the Board of Directors 
• Serve in various OSA roles or committees 
• Nominate individuals for various distinguished OSA awards
• Extensive networking opportunities

Get Started
