Membership Benefits

Continuing education.

MSSA helps you easily meet licensure requirements. In addition to our annual conference, MSSA offers regional conferences and events across Minnesota to help you earn convenient, affordable, high-quality CEUs.

Career Center job opportunities.

Our Career Center provides access to hundreds of job opportunities across Minnesota.

Work recognition.

Health and human services professionals often receive little recognition for the valuable and challenging work that they do every day. Each year, MSSA members recognize the unsung heroes of the profession at the regional and state levels with MSSA’s awards.

Public policy advocacy on issues that matter to you.

MSSA is your voice at the capitol. MSSA's public policy and advocacy program gives you options to advocate for yourself and your clients. MSSA helps members understand the legislative process, move their issues forward, and connect with legislators and other stakeholders.

Up-to-date health and human services information.

MSSA keeps you informed. As a member, you'll receive our email newsletter with breaking news from the state capitol as well as trends and best practices in health and human services. Members also receive The Voice, MSSA’s quarterly print newsletter.
