The year 2012 will mark the tenth year of George Yatskievych's service as Membership Secretary of the American Fern Society, and George has asked the AFS Council to locate a successor for the position. The Membership Secretary is an appointed position on the AFS Council and a critical one within the Society. We are looking for a highly responsible person with good attention to financial details and who is good at communicating with the membership. The new Membership Secretary must be able to use a computer and have internet and e-mail access. The main duties involved are: 1. To maintain the database of active and past memberships and subscriptions. There are several membership categories and nearly 900 active members around the world. AFS also allows its members to join or renew memberships in the British Pteridological Society (so they can pay for this in U.S. Dollars) and some BPS members pay their AFS dues through that Society (thus there is an annual financial reconciliation between the two groups).
