Emeritus ÎÚÑ»´«Ã½
You are eligible to apply for Emeritus membership if you meet all of the following requirements:
- have a doctoral degree or its equivalent
- have manifested interest in any discipline important to hematology, as evidenced by work in the field, original contributions, and attendance at meetings concerning hematology
- are 65 years or older
- have been a member of ASH in good-standing for at least 15 years
Individuals who are 65 years of age but have been ASH members for fewer than 15 years will become eligible for Emeritus status in the calendar year following the year in which they have reached 15 years of membership.
An individual’s years as an Associate member count towards the years-of-membership requirement; however, membership categories which pay no dues (currently Graduate/Medical Student members, Resident members, and Honorary members) do not count toward this requirement.
Annual dues: $0
