The time has come to renew your Meteoritical Society membership for 2025.

We hope you will do so and consider spreading the word among your colleagues. Remember, we now offer discounted membership rates for students and early career members (anyone who is within 10 years of completing their PhD). Student memberships are only $10 and early career memberships are $40.

Unless you are a lifetime member, all 2024 membership benefits including access to the MaPS portal will expire at midnight Dec. 31, 2024 (CST). To enjoy uninterrupted access to your membership benefits, please complete your renewals no later than December 31st.

You may renew your membership in two ways: via the online Member Portal using a credit card (preferred method) or via a check mailed to the Treasurer, Tasha Dunn. The Member Portal is available at the top right corner of the Meteoritical Society website: https://meteoritical.org/

To renew your membership online, logon to the Member Portal and click the “renew my membership” link under Membership Actions (right hand side of page). Prior to doing so, please make sure that your preferred web browser has been updated. (For various security reasons, the MetSoc website does not support old browsers.)

Once you renew, you will receive an email receipt from Stripe and a renewal acknowledgment from noreply@meteoritical.org. Please check your SPAM folder if you do not receive it in your main email address. If you need an itemized receipt, please email the treasurer.

We suggest that you also use this time to update your membership profile. It is particularly important that we have your correct mailing address to ensure timely receipt of Elements Magazine. We also recommend providing a secondary email address. Many members change jobs or institutions and forget to update their contact information. Entering a second email address, usually a personal permanent email, will allow us to contact you and ensure you can continue to receive your membership benefits and important MetSoc updates. When you renew, please indicate your preference for receiving Elements. All members automatically receive online access and print copies of Elements, but you can now opt out of receiving print issues if you prefer. Also, if you are interested in serving on a committee, please indicate your interest on the renewal form.

Should you have problems with any aspect of the renewal process, please contact the Treasurer. Be sure to describe the problem in as much detail as possible and include your device and web browser info.

Thank you so much for your continued support of the Meteoritical Society!
