What is an ISA membership?

The ISA is comprised of national federations and clubs, as well as other international non-profit organizations as its members, and not individuals as members. These organizations support the ISA through their membership dues and contributions to the ISA. Individuals within these national federations and clubs indirectly support the ISA but directly benefit from the work of the ISA. ISA member benefits are for national slackline federations and regional/local clubs and it is their role to convey these benefits to their individual members.
