Reciprocity members residing in the U.S. at the time of billing are billed as regular members. Check the list of reciprocating societies. Dues: US$84.00/yr.
Multi-Year Membership : Members are invited to purchase a multi-year membership by prepaying their current dues rate for two, three, four, or five years. This option is not available to unemployed, student, or affiliate members. Multi-year payment applies only to the membership dues, not to journal subscriptions.
Life Membership : A person may become a life member by making a single payment of dues determined by age at the start of the membership year according to the following:
|
A. Age 60 or above |
Five times the current higher regular dues rate (US$840) |
|
B. Age 50 or above |
Ten times the current higher regular dues rate (US$1,680) |
|
C. Age 40 or above |
Fifteen times the current higher regular dues rate (US$2,520) |
A life member is subsequently relieved of the obligation of paying dues. The status and privileges are those of regular members.
An exception to the above would be made for a person who is currently a member by reciprocity, has been a member by reciprocity for the previous two years and asserts the intention of continuing to be a member by reciprocity. Such a person may purchase life membership by a single payment of dues determined by the formula above but with regular dues replaced with reciprocity dues.
