ESA Membership System – Activation Instructions

ACTIVATE YOUR PROFILE IN THE NEW ESA MEMBERSHIP SYSTEM

If you are experiencing issues or have any questions please email for assistance.

The email address associated with your ESA membership is the username that will be required when activating your profile in the new system. You will have received an email to that email address notifying you of this change to our systems. 

Please note: Your ESA membership status will either be ACTIVE (you are a financial member) or EXPIRED (your membership has lapsed). This status will become known to you as you follow the activation instructions below.
