The cost of a personal subscription varies with the membership category. Membership cost is reduced for students, and for early career, emeritus, and developing nations professionals.
Members receive a host of benefits including a free personal subscription to the L&O Bulletin, reduced publication costs in all of ASLO’s publications, and reduced meeting registration fees. The discounts are greater than the cost of membership!
