HOW TO BECOME A MEMBER OF AAWSVH

All students and employees of WSVH during an academic year are automatically accorded membership in the organization.

Activating a Lapsed Membership

If you haven't heard from the AAWSVH for a long time, we probably don't know where you are. You can re-activate your membership by providing your contact information to the Secretary, and payment of appropriate dues to the Treasurer.

Unfortunately, if your membership was terminated for cause, you cannot be re-activated.

Associate Members

If you did not work at or attend WSVH as a student during an academic school year, you are not eligible for full membership. However, upon the recommendation of a full member, you may become an associate member. This includes summer school students, family of regular members, or other "friends" of the school. Associate members must also pay dues.

Dues

Payment of dues will be required at the time of activation. Both active and associate members are required to pay $5 dues per triennial period. Payments can be sent to the Treasurer, or paid in person at any AAWSVH meeting or reunion. Non-payment of dues will result in deactivation of your membership.

Contact Information

All active and associate members are required to ensure the Secretary has a current Post Office mailing address where you can receive organizational mailings. If this address is not kept up to date, we cannot contact you with important information, such as meeting notices. If you have moved in the last 18 months, please take a moment to update your information.
