Membership is only $20/year for professionals, $10/year for students. The way ASH works is that on even years, we do one major symposium for the year, usually in summer; on odd years, we do quarterly meetings throughout the year, generally in an all-day Saturday format. Either way, membership gets you access to quality workshops and a community of fellow Histotechnology Professionals. Membership runs from May 31st 2016 to June 1st 2017 and so forth.
