Thank you for your interest in ACM. Membership in ACM is on a twelve-month basis, with two different rates: $84.00 for voting and associate members (four-year degree or four years' work experience required for voting member status) and $25.00 for student members (undergraduate and graduate full-time students). With ACM membership, you receive a subscription to Communi- cations of the ACM, a monthly magazine that addresses various areas of interest. Some recent issues have focused on Digital Libraries, Visualization and Design, End-User Training and Learning, Internet Technology, Women in Com- puting, and Object Oriented Software Testing. CACM also provides a handy guide to upcoming conferences and events. MemberNet, a quarterly newsletter highlighting ACM activi- ties and news, is also sent to members at no charge. All ACM journals and Special Interest Groups (SIGs) provide lower subscription and SIG membership rates to ACM members. ACM Press books, with a number of bestselling titles (The Object Advantage, by Ivar Jacobson, Computer Related Risks, by Peter Neumann) also offers discounts to ACM members. As a meber of ACM, you can become active on many levels of the organization: professional chapters (for further information, write to chapters @acm.org), SIGs, ACM awards, elections and volunteer involvement with publications and events, you can enhance your contact with peers in your particular field of interest.
