[Athen] ATHEN Membership Renewal Notice

[Humbert, Joseph A]

Wink et al,

One correction

We will be voting on the change to the membership year in January.  The vote to change the membership year was announced and accepted by the membership at this year's annual meeting.

Our bi-laws require a public announcement about amendments to the bi-laws for 30 days before they can be ratified by a vote on 2/3 of current members.

Thankx.

Joe Humbert

Joe will undoubtedly answer you as well, Cindy, but I can share what I know about this. We voted last year to increase membership dues to $100/yr. The dues are not new. The amount has increased. We also voted to change the renewal/expiration date to match the calendar year rather than when the conference occurs in November.

Does this help answer some of your questions?

Importance: High

Hi All,

I wanted to let everyone on the list know that current ATHEN memberships will be expiring at the end of this month (November 30th, 2014). As membership coordinator and a member of the executive committee, I am inviting current and former ATHEN members as well as potential new members to join our organization. To renew or become a new member please visit the ATHEN Membership page<http://athenpro.org/node/9>.

ATHEN Members help achieve the purpose of the ATHEN professional organization<http://www.athenpro.org/node/8>. In addition, our members help the higher education community at large and beyond with technology access to the education opportunities and experiences afforded by post-secondary institutions.

I have been an active member of ATHEN since 2006. Being an ATHEN member has provided me with many opportunities to participate in collaborations with colleagues that have had a significant impact on technology access in the higher education arena. It has also helped me expand my professional network by establishing lasting relationships with other access technologists. I have been able to utilize this network to receive advice on a range of topics from accessibility feedback about software or hardware my institution is considering purchasing to career and training advice from professionals who have been in this field for over 20 years.

Being an ATHEN member has been a key part of my growth as an access technologist and I hope ATHEN membership provides a similar experience for all of you.

Thank you.

Sincerely,
Joe
