Membership Information

Dear valued members:

The Society for Melanoma Research will be announcing some exciting changes and updates in 2008/2009. To help fund these new member benefits SMR membership dues will be increasing by a modest $50 per year effective 1 January 2009. The membership will still include a complimentary subscription to the official journal of SMR, Pigment Cell and Melanoma Research (PCMR).

New annual membership dues including your PCMR subscription:

  • $175 / 1 year
  • $325 / 2 years (pay in advance to lock in this price)
  • $450 / 3 years (pay in advance to lock in this price)

SMR Membership Benefits include:

  • Complimentary annual subscription to PCMR (deeply discounted).
  • 20% discount off of any Blackwell Publishing books and journal.
  • Online job search engine.
  • Member to Member networking online.
  • Online grant opportunities search engine.
  • Society newsletters with research updates.
  • International Congress press releases.
  • More benefits to be announced soon!

Membership billing cycle:

Effective with the increase in dues, all members will be invoiced on the new universal billing cycle of January-December. If any portion of your 2009-2011 dues were paid previously to 15 November 2008, you will be charged a new prorated membership fee to bring every member onto the new yearly membership cycle.

To ensure SMR activities continue to grow, we are pleased to have brought on board the Site Solutions Worldwide management team. Previously, Site Solutions has worked successfully with us on SMR Congress organization. We will begin by streamlining the membership dues payment and benefit reconciliation. Your current membership status can be reviewed at any time at http://registration.sitesolutionsworldwide.com/synergy/v_1_/home/?id=226 using the username / password you received in your email this week or from the 2007 IMRC or you can create a new membership profile. Please direct all future payments or requests for more information through their office.

We greatly appreciate your membership in SMR and will work to strengthen and improve the Society in every way possible. Suggestions are welcome at any time. Please post them, as well as any other questions, to Megan Kiessling at Site Solutions Worldwide, 866-374-6338 or megan@sitesolutionsworldwide.com.
