AERA to Offer Deep Annual Meeting Registration Discounts as Part of Two-Year Memberships


July 2021

At its June 25 meeting, AERA Council approved deep discounts on annual meeting registration for individuals who join or renew as two-year members of the association. Students who join for two years would save $60 on annual meeting registration over two years, with the annual meeting fee dropping from $120 to $90 for early bird registration. All other membership categories, which pay at a higher rate than students, would save $80 on meeting registration over two years.

Council took this action on a three-year experimental basis to provide direct assistance to AERA members. This incentive will be available for two-year memberships, starting immediately in 2022. The offering is available with the opening of the 2022 renewal season starting on October 1, 2021, through on-site registration at the annual meeting.

“The past year has been challenging for our research community along many dimensions, including financial and other support,” said AERA Executive Director Felice J. Levine. “Through this initiative, we are aiming to enhance the value of AERA membership for scholars at all career stages and additionally help those who anticipate remaining active members. We are pleased to offer this two-year option and are optimistic that it will be very attractive for many current and future members.”
