Janet Fischer and Marilyn Smith


Dear NPA Sustaining Member:

As many of you have heard, the NPA has launched its new affiliate
membership program this week. This is a significant new benefit for NPA
sustaining member research institutions. Under the new affiliate
membership program, any individual affiliated with your institution may
obtain a free affiliate membership in the NPA. This offer includes
postdocs, administrators, graduate students, faculty and alumni. In
effect, anyone who has an e-mail address associated with your
institution can join the NPA as an affiliate member for free. All they
need to do is complete an online application using their institutional
e-mail address.

Affiliate members receive a modified package of benefits, including
subscriptions to NPA publications, access to members-only web content,
and eligibility for NPA committee service. Please note that affiliate
members are not eligible to vote or serve on the NPA Board. Affiliate
members who wish to vote in NPA elections or to serve on the Board
should join the NPA as individual members (dues = $35 for postdocs/grad
students; $75 for others).

The affiliate member enrollment form may be found online at
www.nationalpostdoc.org/affiliate_membership. We strongly encourage
you to inform postdocs and other interested parties at your institution
about this new benefit you have purchased on their behalf.  Attached you
will find electronic versions of the promotional flyers which can be
adapted with your institution's name and logo. We encourage you to
include the flyers in orientation packets and at other programs/events
where postdocs gather.

Thank you for your assistance in promoting this new member benefit to
postdocs at your institution. If you have any questions about this new
benefit, please feel free to contact me.

Sincerely,
Kenetia Thompson
