IPA membership benefit in 2015: ICPhS registration fee reduction
 
A benefit of membership in the IPA in 2015 is a reduced registration fee for the upcoming International Congress of Phonetic Sciences, to be held in Glasgow 10-14 August. While the registration fees for the Congress have not yet been announced, IPA members will receive a discount of 30 GBP for Full and Life members, and 20 GBP for Student members. In order to receive this discount, membership dues for Full and Student members for 2015 must be paid by February 1. The cost of renewing IPA membership for 2015 (for our Full and Student members, who renew each year) remains the same as in the past – 45 EUR for Full and 22.50 EUR for Student members.
 
As always, a benefit of membership is a subscription to the Association’s Journal. For 2015, all members (Life, Full, Student) will receive print issues of the Journal, as before. In addition, all members in 2015 have online access to the Journal – not only to the 2015 volume, but also to all the back issues, back to 1971, via the members-only part of the IPA’s new website, 
https://www.internationalphoneticassociation.org/. This combination of print+online access at no extra charge will be offered only for 2015; beginning in 2016, we expect to introduce different levels of membership fees for different kinds of Journal subscriptions.
 
2015 memberships are now handled through the IPA’s new website (go to 
https://www.internationalphoneticassociation.org/content/membership), which also allows members to keep their contact information current.
 
On behalf of the Executive Council,
