A reminder: AAPG Student members who graduated this fiscal year (between July 1, 2010 and June 30, 2011) now can choose to retain “Student” status for an additional 24 months after graduation – and take advantage of the lower Student dues rate of $10.
Those with a non-North America mailing address must also pay the $10 mail surcharge.
This new option is being offered due to a bylaw change approved by the AAPG House of Delegates to help recent graduates with their transition to employment – and Active status.
Recent graduates taking advantage of this opportunity to extend their current Student status will be reclassified as a “Student YP” (student/young professional).
An important note: All recent graduates choosing to continue as a Student member are personally responsible for remittance of the $10 dues and mail surcharge. These dues cannot be paid by the Corporate Sponsorship program (currently funded by Chevron), because those funds are available only for those actively/remain enrolled in school.
AAPG’s goal remains for all qualified Student (and new Associate) members to apply for advancement to Active status as soon as they meet the experience requirement.
