Beginning in 2013 there will be a change to the qualifications for the ASSH Senior/Retired membership categories. ASSH Active Members who are completely retired from practice, and meet all of the criteria detailed in the
Change in Status Request Form, can request a move to the ASSH Senior/Retired Member category - regardless of age.
If your request to change to the ASSH Senior/Retired Member category is approved you have the option of choosing between:
- ASSH Senior/Retired dues paying category (pay reduced dues of $300 rather than Active Member dues of $530); or
- ASSH Senior/Retired non-dues paying category as described below.
ASSH Active Members over 65 (beginning with the year after turning 65) can request a move to the Senior/Retired Member non-dues paying category - regardless if still practicing.
