WSSA Membership
The Western Stock Show Association was formed in 1906 as a non-profit corporation whose mission is education in agriculture, and it qualifies as an IRS 501(c) (3) charitable educational institution. Through its professional staff and committees, the association produces and organizes the internationally renowned National Western Stock Show, and operates the nation’s premier center for America’s western heritage. That is overseen and governed by a 19- member Board of Directors selected by a 99-member Board of Trustees who in turn are elected by over 1900 members. Committees are involved year-round in all aspects of the organization and are comprised of volunteers.
Membership Options
Membership in the Western Stock Show Association offers a meaningful connection to the National Western Stock Show and its mission to educate and inspire through agriculture, livestock, and Western heritage.
The Association offers two membership categories: Lifetime Membership and Annual Membership, providing options for those seeking a lifelong connection or an annual way to engage with the Association.
Lifetime Membership
Lifetime Membership is designed for individuals who want to make a lasting connection to the Western Stock Show Association. Lifetime Members enjoy exclusive benefits and opportunities to engage with the Association throughout the year, while maintaining a connection to the traditions and community of the National Western Stock Show. Lifetime Memberships tiers include:
- Lifetime Membership (Founding): For those who were approved by the Board of Directors prior to September 1, 2026. This tier is no longer available to join.
- Lifetime Membership (NextGen): For those whose approval by the Board of Directors is after September 1, 2026. This tier requires a 1-time initiation fee and a yearly dues fee beginning in year 2.
Annual Membership
Annual Membership provides an accessible way to participate in the Western Stock Show Association on a year-to-year basis. Members receive valuable benefits and opportunities to connect with the Association, attend events, and experience the National Western Stock Show. There are three different tiers under the Annual Membership umbrella:
- Corporate
- Wrangler
- Trailblazer
Whether you choose a Lifetime or Annual Membership, you become part of a community dedicated to supporting the future of agriculture, livestock, and the Western way of life.
