Calling All 40-Year-Plus and Emeritus Members!

Lee Anne Willson Iowa State University

The AAS is reaching out to its emeritus members and those who have belonged to the Society for at least 40 years to recognize them for their long-term support and to explore how better to serve this group. A committee has been set up to lead this effort, chaired by Lee Anne Willson and including Bruce Balick, Jay Pasachoff, and Nancy Morrison. There will be a special social hour for all "40+E" members attending the 223rd AAS meeting in Washington, DC, on Sunday, 5 January 2014, at 6 pm.

Emeritus membership is available to individuals who have been AAS members for at least 10 years and who have retired from gainful employment. Emeritus status carries reduced dues, reduced meeting registration fees, and other advantages. If you are eligible but have not applied, please contact Diane Frendak, AAS Director of Membership Services, at [email protected].

An email has been sent to all known emeritus and/or 40-year-plus members inviting them to the January social hour. If you did not receive such a message and are eligible to be part of the 40+E group, please contact Diane Frendak.
