Really... We're not kidding,
here! One of the central values of ACA as an organization
is that membership in the Association remain free to all of
those who wish to participate. There's no hidden fees or tiered
membership in ACA. In fact, you don't even have to pay for
our free online journal.
If you want to be a Standing Member of the Association -- or
even a Life Member -- all you have to do is sign-up
for the ACA communication listserv, and you are all set.
Amazing, isn't it? That's what happens when you do not have
a massive office or staff apparatus to maintain! We fervently
believe that our new communication technologies are streamlining
office operations, and in so doing, making global communication
more possible and effective.
Of course, we want to hear from all of our members! So, please
register
for the listserv, become a member, and contribute to the
dialogue by participating on the listserv. Our listserv doesn't
have many rules, so expect a free-form conversation to unfold
in your email inbox. However, we do ask that no posts be made
of a blatant advertising (SPAM) nature. We kinda frown on
that, since we want the conversation to be pure and focused
on communication.
Again, while we are a no-dues Association, we
do take gifts to help keep us current -- and, for special
capital outlay projects (like conventions and software purchases,
et cetera). So, if you feel so inclined to help us out with
our mission, please click here to find out more about how
you can help in the educational effort. We certainly do appreciate
it, and your discipline thanks you, too.
