Membership Renewal Deadline Approaches

The end-of-the year deadline for renewing AAEA memberships is just around the corner.

So, before the year-end hubbub overcomes you, please renew your membership as soon as possible. Write a check today, renew online (www.ageditors.com) or submit a check request to your company's accounting office.

This year's renewal fee for active and affiliate membership is $165, up $15 from the previous fee. Fees for student and retired members remain unchanged and $25 and $80, respectively. The active and affiliate fees were last changed four years ago, when they were increased $25 to $150.

After Jan. 1, 2006, the renewal fee will include a $25 late fee, for a total of $190. This fee was adopted by the AAEA board because approximately 30 percent of AAEA members had been late in returning renewals in recent years.
