| ASOR Extends Grace Period Before Membership Rates Increase |
|
As announced in an email dated February 13, 2017, and in News@ASOR on March 7, ASOR reduced membership rates for Undergraduates, Graduates, and Early Career members effective February 15, 2017. In a membership survey conducted last year, our more senior members expressed a willingness to pay a somewhat higher rate to support the aforementioned reductions. In our announcements, we stated that rates for Regular, Retired, and Sustaining Memberships would increase between $5 and $10 on July 1, 2017. In an effort to give our members more notice, we have extended the grace period to August 15 before the new rates take effect. To renew or join at the previous, lower rates, please renew online, call the ASOR office, or email us. |
