How to Join or Renew AMS Membership on ametsoc.org

You can join or renew through the Membership & Giving section of ametsoc.org, which lists Renew Today alongside member categories for professionals, graduate students, undergraduates, associates, and corporate/institutional members. The site also provides a My Account area and AMS Community access for members. The exact steps and any fees are not specified in the available site information, so use the membership pages themselves to confirm current options before completing a transaction.

Where to find membership actions

The AMS homepage and its navigation include a dedicated Membership & Giving area. Within it, the site lists:

• Renew Today — the renewal entry point for existing members
• AMS Community — the member community area
• Member Resources — resources for current members
• Manage My AMS Certification — certification management for members
• Corporate and Institutional Members — a separate membership track for organizations
• Undergraduate Students, Professionals and Graduate Students, and Associates — member categories

If you are not yet a member, start from the membership category that matches your status rather than the renewal link. If you are already a member, Renew Today is the intended path.

Joining: what to expect

1. Open ametsoc.org and go to Membership & Giving.
2. Choose the category that describes you: professional, graduate student, undergraduate student, associate, or corporate/institutional.
3. Follow that category's join flow. The site notes that parts of the website rely on JavaScript, so enable JavaScript in your browser if menus or forms do not behave as expected.
4. After joining, use My Account to manage your profile and AMS Community to access member areas.

The available site information does not list membership prices, so confirm dues on the category page before submitting payment.

Renewing: what to expect

1. Go to Membership & Giving and select Renew Today.
2. Log in if prompted. The site's header includes LOG IN and a personalized My Account greeting for signed-in members.
3. Complete the renewal for your existing category. If your status has changed (for example, from student to professional), check whether a different category applies before renewing.

Member resources after joining

Membership connects to several areas named on the site:

Note that Subscription Information under Journals & Publications is separate from membership; the site does not state that membership includes journal subscriptions, so check that page if journal access matters to you.

Common sticking points

• JavaScript disabled: The site explicitly warns that parts of it are written in JavaScript and asks visitors to enable it for the best experience. If navigation or forms fail, this is the first thing to check.
• Renew vs. join: Use Renew Today only if you already have a membership; new members should enter through their category.
• Category fit: Student, associate, and professional tracks are listed separately, so pick the one that matches your current status.
• Fees and login requirements: The available information does not specify costs or whether every page requires an account, so verify on the relevant membership page rather than assuming.
