INFO: Help Division 20 membership grow!

Hello,

As a long-time and proud member of Division 20 I have enjoyed a multitude of professional benefits of Division 20 including job opportunities, faculty development, research training, professional mentorship, and networking contacts. These benefits have helped me throughout my career, and that is why serving as Membership Chair for Division 20 has been such a special privilege.

I hope that you are willing to share the benefits of Division 20 membership with your students and colleagues. One of our goals on the Executive Committee has been to try and identify 2-3 new members each! If you are not already a member, please visit the APA Division 20 membership page (http://apadiv20.phhp.ufl.edu/join.htm) and fill out an application. The membership page provides a wealth detail of why membership in Division 20 is such a great professional opportunity. You will become a member upon our receipt of your online application and a payment fo $44 payable to Division 20. If you are already a member, please feel free to share the APA Division 20 membership page link with your colleagues or students.

We extend special membership fees for students. Student affiliates who do not want the Journal receive their first year of membership free. Student affiliates who want the journal should send $26. After the first year, the student affiliate rate is $12 without the journal and $27 with the journal.

We are also pleased to announce a new membership benefit! Springer Publishing Company is now providing APA Division 20 members with a 20% discount for any book at http://www.springerpub.com. We thank Sheri W. Sussman at Springer for working with us to provide this benefit to D20 members. For more information, please contact swsussman@springerpub.com. Please feel free to contact me to acquire the special discount code.

Please note that we have designed attractive new brochures to help stimulate our outreach efforts. If you would like some brochures to post in your office or share with colleagues, please let me know and I would be happy to mail you some.

If you have any questions, or if there is anything I can do to help facilitate your membership or others in APA Division 20, please do not hesitate to contact me!

Sincerely,

Joe Gaugler Membership Chair APA Division 20 _____________________
