AMSAT Board votes to add a 'student membership'

During the November 3, 2009 Board meeting, the motion to add a student membership category was unanimously approved. The student membership will be one half of the current membership.

Until we update the web site and membership forms, please contact Martha at the AMSAT office to join at the student rate.

The approved motion reads:

"In order to expand its educational outreach efforts, AMSAT-NA establishes a student category of membership.
The yearly rate will be half the standard applicable rate, and shall be available to all students in primary and secondary school.
Post-secondary school students enrolled in at least half time status shall be eligible for a maximum of 6 post-secondary years in this status.
In addition, the student membership application should indicate:
1) school attending.
2) course of study.
3) expected graduation date."
