A new membership category, introduced in 1993, is that of emeritus member. Society dues are assessed annually in an amount proposed by the Executive Committee and approved by the general membership. Membership is contingent upon payment of annual dues. The membership year is September 1 - August 31. The Society is committed to bilingualism.
Membership is encouraged and welcomed from both anglophones and francophones.
Official documents of the Society are prepared and provided in both English and French. Participants at National meetings may speak in either language. A copy of the Society's constitution and bylaws is available on request. The annual conference and business meeting is held late each Fall. The conference includes invited speakers and refereed papers presented as plenary sessions, topic oriented presentations, and workshops.
