There are TWO forms of membership - Chapter and National.  Chapter members are not required to be National members (unless you are an officer of the Chapter) but everyone is encouraged to belong to both as your National membership entitles you to meeting and conference discounts, a subscription to EM - the A&WMA's professional publication and access to the "Members Only" section at A&WMA's website.  Plus, a portion of your National registration fee comes back to your local Chapter!  Don't forget - National Members GET DISCOUNTS AT EVERY CHAPTER MEETING!

(Currently, A&WMA is offering specials on memberships - Trial Membership - $135 (call 412-232-3444 for details), Young Professionals (<35 yrs. old) - $93 and Student Membership - $35. More details available on the above link!)

If you work for a large company with many employees who might want to join you may want to consider an Organizational Membership. A&WMA's Organizational Membership lets multiple employees of one company enjoy A&WMA's membership benefits at reduced rates.

The Organizational Membership offers:

• One Deluxe Membership for the primary Organizational Member, who will receive both EM and the Journal.
• Additional Individual Memberships at a discounted rate.
• An optional library subscription at a discounted rate.
• An Organizational Member company listing in each issue of EM and in the Annual Conference & Exhibition program.
• Discounts on certain exhibits and advertising opportunities with A&WMA.

Please feel free to review the BY-LAWS which were modified and ratified by the membership in December 2006 and have been in effect since January 2007.
