Jonathan Kleen, APSA Membership Committee Chair, Dartmouth Medical School

As my first contribution to the newsletter as Membership Chair, I was planning to utilize this column for an exercise of my astrological hobby, providing horoscopes for you all. However, around the time of this newsletter’s distribution, membership requirements for the APSA will experience a major modification – the implementation of dues. Most of you have likely heard wind of this change from your respective Institutional Representatives. Indeed, this piece of gossip is far from hearsay. Perhaps, however, you have not heard an extensive discussion of the reasons behind this development, one that impacts each of the APSA’s 1200 members. Therefore, despite the usefulness of a quarterly APSA horoscope, I hope you’ll agree that outlining the chief reasons for why a financial component is being implemented for membership is a bit more important.
