Who we are: The Jane Austen Society of North America (JASNA) is dedicated to the enjoyment and appreciation of Jane Austen and her writing. Members of all ages and from diverse walks of life gather to share an enjoyment of Austen's fiction and the company of like-minded readers. Most of the DC Metropolitan Region's 200+ members come from the District of Columbia and from the Virginia and Maryland suburbs. JASNA members from farther away are most welcome, too some members live in Fredericksburg, Baltimore, Annapolis, and beyond. Like most JASNA regions, we always have a December meeting in honor of Jane Austen's birthday (December 16); other meetings take place throughout the year as we find speakers, events, or venues likely to be of interest to our members.
