Membership Dues Increase - 2010
At the 2008 AAVLD Annual Meeting in Greensboro, NC, a motion was made to increase membership dues by $10. The AAVLD House of Delegates has unanimously approved the increase. For the 2010 membership year, dues will be raised from $115 to $125 for Full Membership and from $25 to $35 for Associate Membership. Membership dues were last raised in 2007. The increase in dues is being made to help offset increasing expenses for the organization. Graduate Student/Resident and Retired Membership fees will remain unchanged.
