Renew Your AAS Membership Today!

The kids are back in school, and football season has kicked off, so it must be time for the Society's online membership renewal drive!

The AAS emailed members over the past week announcing the start of the membership renewal season, and many took action. Online renewals are arriving at a steady pace. If you already paid your dues, thank you for your continued support.

We will be mailing paper reminders next month, so we encourage you to renew online today for fast, easy self-service that helps reduce the Society's costs and carbon footprint. Simply log in to pay your dues, confirm or update your Division participation and subscriptions, and, for most members, lock in savings for 2017 by renewing for two years at the current rate. (Note: First-time junior member dues are $80 for the first two consecutive years; subsequent junior member dues cannot be locked in. Subscriptions to AAS journals must be renewed annually.)

Renew before 31 December to maintain your benefits and receive additional savings — the AAS will extend a one-time 15% discount off your portion of the author charges on one paper published in an AAS journal (AJ, ApJ, ApJ Letters, or ApJ Supplement). Eligible members can double their savings: if you renew by 31 December for two years, you will receive the 15% author discount on one paper each in 2016 and 2017. Plus, as a member, you can save up to $240 (more than the price of membership itself) on early registration to the 227th meeting of the AAS in Kissimmee, Florida.

If you have any questions about your dues or benefits, or need assistance when logging in, please contact the membership team by email or by phone at 202-328-2010.
