Reciprocity Membership : This reduced rate applies to any individual member of any reciprocating society who resides outside the U.S. at the time of billing. Reciprocity members residing in the U.S. at the time of billing are billed as regular members. Check the list of reciprocating societies.  Dues: US$80.00/yr.

Multi-Year Membership : Members are invited to purchase a multi-year membership by prepaying their current dues rate for two, three, four, or five years. This option is not available to unemployed, student, or affiliate members. Multi-year payment applies only to the membership dues, not to journal subscriptions.

Life Membership : A person may become a life member by making a single payment of dues determined by age at the start of the membership year according to the following:

A. Age 60 or above
 Five times the current higher regular dues rate (US$800)
B. Age 50 or above
 Ten times the current higher regular dues rate (US$1,600)
C. Age 40 or above
 Fifteen times the current higher regular dues rate (US$2,400)

A life member is subsequently relieved of the obligation of paying dues. The status and privileges are those of regular members.

An exception to the above would be made for a person who is currently a member by reciprocity, has been a member by reciprocity for the previous two years and asserts the intention of continuing to be a member by reciprocity. Such a person may purchase life membership by a single payment of dues determined by the formula above but with regular dues replaced with reciprocity dues.
