Professional Organization Membership

In an institution of higher learning it is recognized that in order to maintain professional competence in the various disciplines, it is necessary to maintain contacts in the disciplines through membership in professional societies and associations.
Dues or fees will be paid only for institutional memberships in the name of the College. In most instances, a senior staff member (Chancellor, Associate Dean, Division Head or Director) is named as the institutional representative to represent the College. 

The College will not pay for individual memberships to organizations. However, if a membership is required for a faculty member to present a paper, funds to cover such memberships should be requested when a travel authorization is submitted.   Also, when such memberships are required from students presenting their undergraduate research or from faculty accompanying these students, funds to cover such memberships should be requested from the Abington College Undergraduate Research Activities fund.

See the University policy HR-12 regarding professional organization memberships for more information.
