ÐÜèÊÓÆµmembership is based on a calendar year (January – December). Membership dues are non-refundable.
If you have any questions about membership, please contact the ÐÜèÊÓÆµMembership Team at members@aera.net or call (202)238-3200.
The Hardship Provision is available to any ÐÜèÊÓÆµmember whose financial condition has changed drastically and sufficiently so that a member would have difficulty renewing their membership. A member must be in good standing for at least three previous years to qualify for the hardship provision. Under this provision, a member is granted a waiver for one year of ÐÜèÊÓÆµmembership dues and one year of dues for membership in a division and one special interest group of which the applicant was a member the previous year. The Hardship Provision may be granted for a maximum of one year for each member.
To apply for consideration, send a letter via email explaining the nature of the hardship, along with member number, choice of division, and choice of special interest group, to the attention of Tabbye Chavous, ÐÜèÊÓÆµExecutive Director, at executive.director@aera.net prior to the membership expiration date.
On October 1, ÐÜèÊÓÆµwill launch a new membership system—re:Members—to better support member engagement and association functions. Here's what you need to know about the transition.
"ÐÜèÊÓÆµhas also afforded me the opportunity to form valuable professional relationships with students and faculty members. In addition to friendships, numerous career opportunities have emerged from these interactions, including two research collaborations." –Denisa Gándara
