Dear SMPTE Member,

It's time to renew your yearly SMPTE Membership!

Hopefully, since your last renewal, you have taken advantage of the abundant ways SMPTE membership can help you advance your career. If not, there's still time to reap the rewards of an investment in your future. Invaluable information in the SMPTE Journal, membership in a local section, countless networking opportunities, education through conferences and seminars, and discounts on conferences and publications are just a few of the ways members profit from SMPTE.

Membership dues help support the Society's standards activities and educational goals. And SMPTE continually adds value to your membership by introducing new benefits for the same price. To continue providing these services, the SMPTE Board of Governors recently voted to raise the rate of individual membership to $135 per year, and the rate of student membership to $135 per year, as of January 1, 2002.

The same reasons why you joined SMPTE in the first place are still applicable now: valuable knowledge to aid you in the workplace, plentiful contacts to offer inside information on industry news, time and money-saving discounts on products to increase your job performance. Still not convinced? Take a look at the improvements we made in 2001:

• New website updated regularly, with members-only section, discussion boards and e-commerce
• Online Journal and SMPTE library available to subscribers Increased standards development cycle to keep industry moving forward competitively
• Emailed Section Notices to give you the earliest notification of local meetings
• Improved deadlines to disseminate Journal and other mail quickly, keeping you abreast of SMPTE activities

These services are available to members only, at an affordable rate you can only get from SMPTE.

Don't miss out! Send in your payment now and continue receiving the invaluable membership benefits you've become accustomed to, at a price you can't beat.

Sincerely,
