Dear CITASAzens, If you have not renewed your CITASA membership for 2010, the time is now! Remember - ASA student members can request a free CITASA membership. To be eligible to vote in the annual section elections, you must be a section member by March 30. Section members as of March 30 will receive 3 months of free access to the iCS/CITASA 3rd annual special issue (courtesy of Rutledge). The special issue consists of papers presented at the 2009 ASA annual meeting and will be published in June. Section members as of March 30 will also be entered into a random draw for 1 of 5 CITASA branded 1GB USB keys and lanyards (left over from the 2009 ASA meeting in San Francisco). Remember all the benefits of being a section member: discounted iCS subscriptions, awesome section reception, free swag at the annual meeting, annual iCS/CITASA special issue, dedicated sessions and round tables at the annual meeting, occasional pre-conferences and graduate student workshops, the CITASA email list and the section website.
