Congratulations to the 2008 AAVLD Award Winners

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.
