While there are only about 250 members, the association's importance comes from the members being leading sociologists who use the SRA's meetings to network and exchange views on the direction of the field. The great majority of the SRA's members are American and Canadian, in large part because the association's annual meeting, lecture and banquet takes place annually during an evening of the [[American Sociological Association]]'s annual meeting. |
