MEMBERSHIP RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS

Member agrees to pay the annual fees established for its Membership Class, as may be amended from time to time in accordance with the Bylaws. If the Member chooses to attend the Annual Meeting, yearly Dues is included in the Annual Meeting fee established for its Membership Class; if the Member does not attend the Annual Meeting, yearly Dues is instead required in lieu of the Annual Meeting fee. Yearly Dues may be amended by the discretion of the Executive Committee. (see Pavlovian Society By-laws Articles II and X).

Annual Meeting. If a Member chooses to attend the Annual Meeting, the Member agrees to purchase a registration ticket established for its Membership Class. The fees associated with each Membership Class are determined by the sole discretion of the Executive Committee. Note that a registration ticket purchased for the Annual Meeting includes access to all talks and events, including the annual Banquet. The proceeds from these registration ticket sales are used directly for the purpose of funding the Pavlovian Society Annual Meeting, for our Awards, and for nothing else. Registration is completed on this website (www.pavlovian.org/meeting-registration). Annual Meeting fees increase progressively as the meeting approaches, as determined by the sole discretion of the Executive Committee. Annual Meeting fees are due at the time of registration. In the event that the Annual Meeting fee is not paid at the time of registration, the Annual Meeting fee owed is based on the date of payment, not the date of registration. The registration fee is non-refundable; all registration ticket sales are final.

Members may be invited to speak at the annual meeting, through symposia, panels, or otherwise. Upon selection, speakers have 14 days from notice to confirm their attendance. The selection committee reserves the right to replace individual speakers or whole symposia if speakers are unconfirmed by the given date or if they do not comply with Pavlovian Society policies (see Compliance with Policies section).

Thereafter, said Member may be reinstated by applying in writing to the Secretary-Treasurer and paying dues for the year in which reinstatement is requested. A Member may resign by sending to the Secretary-Treasurer a notice of resignation. A Member who has resigned may be reinstated by paying the dues for the year in which reinstatement is requested.
