Membership
Becoming a member of AHEAD in Texas has many benefits:
- Membership to the AHEAD in Texas "members-only" discussion list for access to professional colleagues, job postings and other regional resources.
- Discounted conference rates to AHEAD in Texas conference and pre-conference workshops.
- Discounts to other AHEAD in Texas subsidized workshops.
- 10% discount on all Disability Access, Information and Support (DAIS) products (see http://www.janejarrow.com/).
The AHEAD in Texas membership year follows the calendar year.
AHEAD in Texas membership DOES NOT include national AHEAD membership, nor does joining national AHEAD automatically renew your state dues. Even though we are an affiliate of national AHEAD, we are a separate corporate entity. For more information on national AHEAD, visit http://www.ahead.org/
