INFO: New, more flexible membership options for Division 20 members

Hello,

In response to the need to create flexible membership options and encourage
more robust participation in Division 20, we are excited to announce two new
membership categories for new or current members:

1. Professional affiliates are persons who, due to their proficiency in
areas related to the mission of the Division, can contribute to the Division's
objectives but do not hold membership in the American Psychological
Association.

2. International affiliates are also proficient in areas related to the
mission of the Division and can contribute to the Division's objectives, but
reside in a country outside of the United States. International affiliates
do not have to hold membership in the American Psychological Association to
join Division 20.

Dues for both Professional and International Affiliates are the same as
Divisional dues for full members (e.g., $44 per year), and confer many of
the same benefits as Full Members, including subscriptions to Adult
Development & Aging News as well as Psychology and Aging. However, to
reiterate: one does not have to join APA itself in order to be an Affiliate
of Division 20.

To join as a Professional or International Affiliate, please go to
http://memforms.apa.org/apa/cli/divapp/. If you have any questions or
concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me at the email or numbers
below.

Thank you for your continued participation in Division 20! Stay tuned as we
continue to develop and provide additional opportunities for members!

Joe
