Sorry in advance if this question should be in the coach forum, but that forum does not get too much business. 

In order to keep my USMS coaching certificate valid, do I need to maintain my ASCA membership? The page on the USMS site is confusing</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 12</generator><item><title>RE: USMS Coaching and ASCA</title><link>https://community.usms.org/thread/190152?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 15 Apr 2014 09:24:47 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:460dc745-cd7f-4d87-bee9-1282ec4312fd</guid><dc:creator>Former Member</dc:creator><description>Thank you!

You do not need to keep your ASCA membership active to maintain USMS Masters Certification.  You only need to keep your USMS membership active to  maintain your USMS Masters Certification.
