LOPSA is the League of Professional System Administrators.
LOPSA is pronounced as LOP-suh (LOP'-suh).
LOPSA membership benefits fall into two classes. The first supports you as a member and a sysadmin. LOPSA is working to provide educational and networking opportunities, a forum for support and ideas, and an active
community engaged in discussion of sysadmin issues. A number of companies now offer
discounts to LOPSA members that well exceed the value of membership. As of May 2007, LOPSA also offers
professional and liability insurance.
The second benefit of joining LOPSA is to advance the profession as a whole. LOPSA aims to bring a voice to system administrators to society beyond. We want to educate the public, influence policy both corporate and legislative, and ensure that our voice is heard. We will reach this goal with outreach, research into sysadmin issues, and active efforts to expose the media and public to our viewpoints.
