Membership
Beginning in 2001, membership has been required for participation in GEMELA conferences and elections. Our annual dues are only $15, but if possible we ask that you pay $30 to cover two years at a time. Your membership will still be current during the off-years when we do not have our conference and you will still remain eligible to vote in elections. Dues also help to support a graduate award for travel to the conference. Dues must be paid in order for proposals to be accepted for the program and should be sent by the deadline set for submission of abstracts; usually by April 1. Send a check or money order for $30.00 in US DOLLARS, payable to Bradford Ellis-GEMELA to:
Bradford Ellis, Treasurer
Boyle Hall 308
St. Norbert College
100 Grant Street
De Pere, WI 54115-2099
GEMELA is soliciting "founding members" to provide funds for the organization's operational costs and to accumulate money for travel scholarships for graduate students to participate in the bi-annual conference. A Founders' donation of $50 is tax-deductible and goes to a very good cause. See below for a list of founding members. Make checks for dues and founders' donations to Bradford Ellis-GEMELA.
