NOTICES FROM DIANE

Awards

The NASW Science-In-Society Awards deadline is July l; the CASW-Victor Cohn Award in Medical Science Writing deadline is July 31. Entry form brochures will be mailed out soon.

Dues, roster, database

The deadline for dues was March 15. If you wish to get in the 2004 Roster of Members your checks and credit card numbers must get here ASAP. I will accept them up until I send off the database for printing, but you must hurry. If you don’t pay by June 1, 2004 you will be dropped from the membership rolls and stop receiving member benefits.

A few pointers: if you pay by Visa or Mastercard I need the three-digit security number from the back of the card (NASW is charged more if I don’t have it) and if you pay online by Paypal via (nasw.org/NASW/renewals.htm) please give me an address. It is very time consuming to look everyone up.

Authors coalition

If you haven’t filled out the Author’s Coalition Form (Pink) please do, if you lost it, please fill one out online at nasw.org/NASW/authorscoalition.htm. This survey must be submitted annually and it is vital to get as many as possible, since it increases the amount of money NASW receives—funds that support activities such as the NASW Workshop Fellowships (below).
