Peter Timusk asked a good question in response to the CITASA membership drive. (I remember when we had 99 members - we've come a long way, baby). No simple answer: Overall ASA dues, on a sliding scale: Student: $50 Unemployed or Emeritus: $50 Earning more, from $60 to $150 depending on salary 3rd World: $55 You have to be an overall ASA member to become a section member, including CITASA. Student: FREE, if you join by Sept 30; later-$5 Otherwise: $10 So if you are already an ASA member and are a student, becoming a CITASA member is free. If not, it could be anywhere between $60 to $160 Membership is for calendar year. So, the big reason to join now is to help the section achieve its 4th session at the ASAs. Big reason to join for 2014 is to give a paper (members), and meet some neat people in the best city in the world SFO Barry Wellman _______________________________________________________________________ NetLab Director FRSC INSNA Founder Faculty of Information (iSchool) 611 Bissell Building 140 St. George St. University of Toronto Toronto Canada M5S 3G6 http://www.chass.utoronto.ca/~wellman twitter: @barrywellman NSA/CSEC: Canadian and American citizen NETWORKED:The New Social Operating System.
