• Individual Membership (new or inactive/renewing members): $45
• Membership with Institutional Pricing (allows for enrollment of multiple individual members of the same institution): $200

PLEASE NOTE: If your membership is expired, you should be able to renew for 2022-23 as part of the conference registration form. You should be presented with a Membership selection page after logging in on the registration form. If you need to renew and do not see the Membership page on the registration form, you can renew your membership first at Member Services.

If you currently have an individual membership and wish to switch to institutional pricing, you must contact Louisa Diana (Treasurer) at [email protected] who will create an invoice for membership payment. Once payment is received, Louisa will coordinate with Tammy Zibell (Membership) to switch your account to reflect institutional pricing. This must be completed before you can submit the conference registration form, otherwise you may be charged the incorrect amount for registration.
