International membership discount extended
In its October 2007 meeting in New York, the AHCJ board of directors approved extending the association's international membership discount for another year.
The discount, allowing journalists from countries outside the United States and Canada to join for $30, was first approved in the fall of 2006. Since that time, AHCJ has added additional international members and drawn interest from organizations interested in pursuing joint international projects.
The discount is aimed at journalists signing up for the first time. The aim is to introduce more international journalists to the resources AHCJ has to offer and allows us to extend our network of members who may be able to assist each other on global health stories. The special rate requires the new members to take HealthBeat and other mailings electronically, which reduces postage costs.
AHCJ now has members in 21 nations, including new additions from Haiti, South Korea and China.

This discount is available to a group of five or more applicants submitted at the same time and paid for by the same employer. Although the membership is in the name of the employee, the company retains rights to the membership and can reassign it if the employee leaves, for example.
To apply for AHCJ membership, you can either apply online with your credit card or download application form in pdf format and mail it to the Association with your check or money order.
