Membership Dues are Changing in 2025

Dues have not increased in more than 5 years, but our expenses have. At its October meeting, the Council voted unanimously to increase dues to help the Society stay abreast of inflation. The rates are for 1-year and can be set to auto-renew to save the hassle of remembering each year.

  • $125 – Academic/Government membership
  • $250 – Industry membership (no change!)
  • $50 – Student/Postdoc membership
  • $50 – Emeritus membership
  • $750 – Lifetime Membership
    (Must be 60 years or older. Proof of eligibility required.)

Good news is that the new rates don’t take effect until 2025. Join or renew by Dec. 31 for the current prices!
