Advocacy

Wisconsin acknowledges and respects all traditions of Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine. We believe that cooperation and strength among practitioners and supporters will ensure that this ancient and  modern medical profession will retain its integrity. Anyone can advocate for safe and effective acupuncture. As licensed acupuncturists, we advocate our practices. As leaders in the field, we step up, learn, and contribute to the local, state, and national efforts to maintain standards while improving the profession.

Legislation

By protecting the legal status to practice acupuncture in Wisconsin, WISCA aims to enhance the quality of health care for people in Wisconsin. Your WISCA membership fees help support our dynamic lobbyist team that has already thwarted an attempt for secondary oversight and limitation on practice. Understanding the legislative process and taking action is one way that WISCA serves Wisconsin acupuncturists and strengthens the practice of acupuncture as a medicine.

Important updates to your account and the website platform

 

Hello Wisconsin Acupuncturists! 

We’re thrilled to announce the launch of our new website platform for our valued members and the public! Your patience throughout this transition period has been greatly appreciated.

After diligent effort with our tech team, we’re proud to announce that we are launching a more stable and robust platform, designed to enhance your user experience and offer an array of new features and resources. Whether you’re accessing information or engaging with our community, we’re confident you’ll find the new website to be much more user-friendly. As we embark on this exciting journey together, we extend our gratitude for your ongoing support, which fuels our mission to serve and empower professional acupuncturists in Wisconsin. 

Please take a moment to read through the important updates regarding membership renewal and payment processes outlined below. Your involvement is integral to our collective success, and we’re excited to grow and innovate together through this new platform. Thank you for being a vital part of the WIsconsin Society of Acupuncturists community!

If this is the first time you are renewing your membership since September 20th 2024, because of the changes to our system all memberships that were due to automatically renew will instead expire on their next renewal date. 

Once the new platform is live, to keep your account active you must log in with your username and password here and update your credit card information by manually re-registering your membership through our new gateway when it is time for your renewal. This is only a one time process.

Once logged in, just navigate to the Become a Member page and select your membership level and follow the checkout process.

For payment to process smoothly, please make sure that your payment method is active, and you have sufficient funds. And if you need to automate your payments in our new platform for the future, simply go to your Account Profile while logged in and under the ‘My Subscriptions’ tab select your active subscription and make sure auto-renew is toggled on.

As your renewal date gets close you will receive email reminders about this process and the steps to take. You will also receive reminders if your membership has lapsed as a helpful nudge in case you missed the initial reminder emails, so stay on the lookout through this process to help us help you keep your account active. 

Your ongoing support is what drives us to continue working to secure YOUR future as a professional acupuncturist in the state of Wisconsin and to provide the best possible services to our members. The more we grow the more we can do and the new website will help take us there!

Please keep an eye out for future communications and updates as we move forward.

Best regards,

Your WISCA Board of Directors
