VSG Membership Information
Note: Membership is not required to join the VSG ListServ Discussion List. Information on joining the discussion list can be found here.
Dear VSG:
This email is a reminder to our valued supporters to pay your VSG Membership dues and/or donations for the March 2023 - March 2024 cycle, if you have not already done so. If you have already paid for this cycle, please accept our thanks and disregard this message. Any payment beyond the minimum dues will be considered a donation.
Your relatively modest membership dues support many activities that benefit the Vietnam Studies field, including the Graduate Student Prizes, Annual Travel Grants to the AAS, bibliography software subscription fees; infrastructure costs to host the VSG list-server, and more. Finally, only dues-paying members can vote on VSG-related matters.
You can renew your annual VSG Membership in three easy steps:
Step 1. THE DUES AND/OR DONATIONS
The dues are the following:
US$20 for Regular membership;
US$10 for Retired/Graduate Student/Members coming from ODA-designated countries
Any payments beyond the prior amounts will be considered donations.
Step 2. HOW TO MAKE A PAYMENT
You can make a payment online or by check.
1) Online payment is preferable. It can be made through the Association for Asian Studies webpage (at the homepage, click on "Donate" and then scroll down to "Vietnam Studies Group"; if you are an AAS member, please log in first and then click on "Donate" and scroll down to "Vietnam Studies Group"). For your convenience, here is the link: https://www.asianstudies.org/donate/
2) Checks can be made to the “Association for Asian Studies” with a note that the payment is for “VSG dues/donations.” You can send the check directly to the AAS:
Association for Asian Studies
Business Office
825 Victors Way, Suite 310
Ann Arbor, MI 48108
Step 3. CONFIRM PAYMENT
If you made an online payment, please forward the receipt to Richard Tran at RQTRAN@gmail.com with the subject heading "VSG Dues."
If you paid by check, kindly let me know the amount and date of the check.
This last step is important because AAS no longer provides us the names of people who paid dues or donated. But it does indicate when payment is a check, which helps in keeping track of dues/donations as long as we know the amount and the approximate date that the AAS receives a check.
Thank you again for your continued support of VSG. Do not hesitate to contact me if you have further questions.
Richard
