The Treasurer is elected for a term of three years. The Society's income is principally derived from the dues of its members and associate members and from fees charged business firms for exhibit space during the annual meeting. Associate members may be renewed at that rate if they continue to be graduate students in good standing. If an Associate member applies for full membership, dues for the remaining years of Associate membership will be credited toward full membership. The Society's fiscal year extends from one annual meeting to the next.
Members become liable for dues as of the annual meeting.
The Treasurer should generate billing forms bearing a business address. Bills should be mailed by early summer. The Treasurer should record each member's dues payment on a receipt list as well as on the member's computer record. Since the academic year ends so soon after the beginning of the Society's fiscal year, it has been customary to regard members as not liable for dues in the Society year during which they gain emeritus status. By action of the Council, members whose dues are three years in arrears are dropped from membership.
