2010 KACA Membership
Thursday, July 22nd, 2010 |Dear KACA members and friends:
We hope everything is well with you and your family.
This is to remind you about KACA membership drive for 2010. For those who renew their membership and made contributions, KACA is deeply grateful for your support and generosity. For others, please renew your current membership or become a new member of KACA. Your dues are very important to continue to strengthen our programs, and to develop new and innovative projects to serve our members.
Here is our new membership information. If you have any questions regarding our new membership, please contact me at kwak@umich.edu.
The annual student membership fee ($10) remains the same, but there are now four categories for faculty members: regular ($20), silver ($40), gold ($70), and platinum (at least $100). Silver, gold, and platinum members will be recognized as such in all KACA publications. All of the additional income generated from these new membership categories will be maintained separately from KACA’s general operating account and used to support graduate student members in various venues, including scholarship, paper awards, and program support. Platinum members may contribute their membership dues to the graduate student program fund or to a special fund of their choice. Some popular choices may include a young scholars award fund, KACA graduate representative scholarship, and a research award in honor of someone you designate. These special funds will normally be spent during the membership year during which the funds are created.

KACA has again created a board (www.kacanet.org/talk) to provide members with assistance connecting those who have reserved hotel rooms during the 2010 AEJMC convention/conference in Denver and those who are looking for a room to share.
If you are a room-holder or a room-seeker who would like to share a room but hasn’t found your roommate yet, post your request on the board (www.kacanet.org/talk) and contact those who show his/her interest in sharing the room with you.
To post your request or reply to any request, you need to register as a member. Registering is hassle free. It is simple and easy, and takes less than one minute. Click the word, “Register,” placed in the upper left-hand corner of the website and create your user id for the board.
We hope to see you all in Denver.
