Member Sponsored Memberships have been invaluable for retaining active IAMSLIC members and for welcoming new members who are unable to join IAMSLIC for monetary reasons. However, these sponsored memberships are only possible through the generosity of current IAMSLIC members, who fund the sponsored memberships through donations.

Last year, for the first time, the number of applicants for a sponsored membership exceeded the amount of funding that was available.  We need your help to make this year's membership drive a success!

Donations
If you are able to make a donation toward a sponsored membership, you can do so by visiting the Support Us page, and be sure to select the "Sponsor a Membership" box.  Any amount would be appreciated and will make an impact--you do not need to donate enough to cover a full membership.

Donations collected through 31 January 2026 will be used for sponsored memberships that will be awarded in February 2026.

Applying for a sponsored membership
If you would like to receive a sponsored membership, applications will open in January 2026. Please watch for an announcement on the IAMSLIC website and on the listserv for more information about applying for a sponsored membership.

You can email any questions about the Member Sponsored Membership Drive to the Membership Committee Chair, Thumy Webb, at thumy.webb@rice.edu.

Thank you for your support!
