Annual dues are USD $35 ($15 student with proof of enrollment) and are payable upon joining AESE. We are currently still working on setting up a digital method to pay your dues by credit card. In the meantime, please send dues in the form of a check payable to Association of Earth Science Editors. Note that checks must be in U.S. dollars, electronically transferrable to a U.S. bank that is imprinted on the form (for example, Chase Manhattan, New York) and with the 9-digit bank routing number, printed as part of the machine-readable text at the bottom of the check. We are unable to process government postal orders, even if they can be expressed in U.S. dollars.
