Please note however, that m-i-cs are limited to business meetings or social functions. Panel presentations, roundtables, etc. should be submitted as proposals for the formal AAS program.
2. The Affiliate may obtain labels from the AAS at cost for selective mailings at the discretion of the secretariat.
3. The Affiliate may describe itself as an Affiliate of the AAS (for whatever benefit it derives from this status), but must recognize that it is not covered by the AAS tax exempt status or liability insurance and cannot use the name of the AAS in raising funds without the permission of the Board of Directors.
4. The Affiliate will be able to use the Newsletter to inform membership about its programs and publications.
5. A brief report on the Affiliate will be included in the AAS Annual Report, calling attention to its program, membership terms and publications.
