Categories and Fees
The ATS is pleased to announce that the membership categories and fees have been restructured. Under this new structure, membership is based on commitment and contribution to the ATS and not on degree or professional affiliation.
The new structure allows for larger discounts on International Conference registrations and abstract submissions, reduced fees for other ATS education programs and products, and lower page fees for publishing in the Society's journals.
