If so, I hope you agree that APS is an organization where issues important to psychology are being addressed. If you haven't heard of APS, I hope I might convince you to read on, and see for yourself the compatibility of APS with your own goals and objectives. I also want to let you know that APS is now offering membership at a reduced rate. For a limited time, you may join APS for 1990 and 1991 for only $90.91 (two years are regularly $150). You will receive all back issues of "Psychological Science," the flagship journal of APS. Here are a few more reasons for joining. We are now 11,000 members, including researchers, applied scientists, and academicians from across the country. APS's roster boasts the nation's most renowned psychologists. The "APS Observer" and the "APS Employment Bulletin" inform members monthly of the latest news about the Society and provide job openings across all areas of psychology. 1990 marked the publication of APS's first journal, "Psychological Science" (William Estes, Editor). Its subscription price is included in dues. Take advantage of the 90/91 $90.91 membership special and get all back issues. The 2nd Annual APS Convention was a smashing success with a registration of over 1,300 basking in 27 symposia, 14 invited addresses, numerous debates and interdisciplinary sessions, and over 450 posters. All signs point to the June 13-16, 1991 convention in Washington, DC, as being equally exciting. An APS-convened (NIMH-funded) Summit of over 65 separate behavioral or psychological organizations began a process to develop a National Research Agenda for behavioral and psychological science. The APS office represents psychological science on Capitol Hill, in federal agencies, and the executive branch. Its latest success came just this August. Congress is now considering APS-initiated legislation to establish a separate structure for behavioral and social science at the National Science Foundation. The APS office is successfully bringing positive national media attention to APS and to psychological science (e.g., "Science," the "Washington Post," UPI, "Forbes," "Chronicle of Higher Education"). APS members are eligible for substantial discounts on journals and books from other publishers, with more discounts to come. We offer low-cost professional liability insurance aimed at academics that also allows for part-time practice, and has separate categories for industrial psychologists and students. Below is an electronic form for the $90.91 special for two years of APS membership (90/91). Print it out, complete it, send it in, and join a young organization that is rich in heritage and has great plans for the future. I hope you see your future in APS, too. Sincerely, Alan G.
