Payment:
Option 1: Pick the appropriate membership classification

based on that period. All dues must be paid in U.S.
Dollars.
Membership status is obtained only after dues have been
received and the applicant is notified of his/her
election to membership. Payment of dues does not
automatically confer the membership classification
chosen.
Option 2: In lieu of full payment of membership dues a
$20.00 Application Fee may accompany this application
(all fees must be paid in U.S. Dollars). One half of the
Application Fee ($10.00) will be credited to the

Exception: For those applying for student membership, the
Application Fee is $10.00 which will be fully credited to
the Applicants initial dues, upon election to

A membership dues statement will be sent to you with your
notice of election. July 1st is the start of the
Society's fiscal year, and dues are based on that period.
Membership status is obtained only after dues have been
received, and the applicant is so notified. Election does
not constitute membership. Note: Upon election, dues must
