SLA Member Benefits Table

Proposed by SLA Membership Task Force Member: Tom Rink

[Note: Revised October 9, 2000]

Explanatory Notes for Proposal:

The intent of the "virtual" category is to provide virtual access to the Association. No more, no less. Because of this, the number of Association benefits is very limited within this category.

By paying the annual dues for any of the categories, the member is entitled to all of the highlighted benefits. The cost of any non-highlighted benefit would be in addition to the annual dues.

In lieu of paying the annual dues, a member may elect the specific Association benefit(s) that he/she desires to have and pay the stipulated amount accordingly.

All SLA members are encouraged to contact Tom Rink with questions, comments, or suggestions about this table. Tom can be reached at trink@ci.tulsa.ok.us.
