AAMT Membership

[Guest guest]

Yes, I know what you mean. I am actually still in the " wait and see " phase

regarding continuing my membership. I have to admit though that the " E-terms "

that they send out is great. When I get the email, I now immediately put the

terms into my Instant Text. When I first starting doing it, it was because I

was basically bored and thought it might be interesting to do that. My eyes got

really big though and my mouth dropped open when I saw these terms coming in my

dictation right off the bat! Many times, this has saved me from having to go do

research. I wuv my AAMT E-terms, LOL!

The whole " is it worth it or not " thing about joining is just something I

haven't yet decided.

I went to the site and copied the whole price list for membership in case folks

were interested.

MEMBERSHIP SELECTION:

Practitioner...............$158

Associate .................$205

Student ......................$79

Institutional...............$315

Corporate.................$788

Re: Med help please

I hope they give you better " terms " than they give the rest of us! Believe

it or not, I started getting nostalgic and thought about joining them again

last week. When I went to the web site to do so, though, I discovered that

they have raised the fee AGAIN, and now it's over $200.

Maybe this is a good thing for them because it keeps the riff-raff out. I

have influence of a sort over a number of students each year. When I

mention to my students that it would be nice for them to join a

professional organization for any number of reasons, I feel constrained to

tell them what the dues are to AAMT once they stop being students, and most

first *gasp* then inquire if there are any other professional associations

they could join. Wouldn't you think AAMT would want to recruit new members

and want instructors on their side? IDU. . . *sigh*
