2003 Membership Report

ISHPSSB Membership Data (summarized July 9, 2003)

Student members with dues paid through (at least) 2000:	47
Emeritus members:	24

Since March 2003, approximately 300 individuals have joined or fully renewed their memberships.

A membership drive this fall, prior to mailing of the Fall Newsletter, may help with renewals of the 234 delinquent members and may encourage some of the registered nonmembers to join. This could increase our membership by nearly 200 additional members. It will also help us cull our database more accurately and reduce mailing costs to delinquent members.

^*Delinquent members continued to receive the ISHPSSB Newsletter (whether they wanted it or not) because systematic membership drives were not conducted until October 2001. After that time, delinquent members were deleted from the database one year after their status switched to delinquent.

1999 Membership report

About 400 active members: 300 full paying, 100 grad student; 300 members are delinquent in payments

1995 Membership report

Membership at the time of the 1995 meeting stood at 604, a 27% increase over two years previously. 476 were regular members; 128 students members.
