SAVE ON MEMBERSHIP!

Between April 1 and May 31, 2008 professional members who join DEC or who renew their DEC membership will save $10 off the CEC portion of their dues. In addition, DEC will send them a coupon for $10 off any DEC product!

Please use this membership form (in PDF) which was made especially for this promotion.

If you use this form, please mail it to CEC (further instructions are on the form).

Members may also renew/join online at www.cec-sped.org and use the special Promotion Code (DECSPR08).

(Members must use the special form or promotional code to renew/join between April 1 and May 31. The offer can not be combined with any other offer. This offer is for new and renewing professional members only.)

Consider taking advantage of this limited promotional offer, and please spread the word to others who you think might be interested in joining!

You might also want to check out CEC's "joint membership" option.  Joint membership provides all the benefits of Professional membership for two persons. The pair of members receive one set of CEC professional publications (TEACHING Exceptional Children and Exceptional Children), but maintain two separate "files" so that each can join different divisions.  Here is some information from the national DEC office about how to access the joint membership application:

  1. Print two copies of the applicable membership application. The first application should be filled out for the primary member. You should write “Primary” on the top of the form and fill it in completely including payment information. In the payment computation section, list the CEC portion of the dues and then add any divisions below that. To see what the dues structure looks like for joint memberships, here is a link to the page on CEC’s web site that lists dues amounts for joint memberships: http://www.cec.sped.org/Content/NavigationMenu/Membership/Dues

  2. For example: in Kansas (yah Jayhawks!) for professionals with both people joining DEC the computation would be: $206+$35+$35

    The second application should be filled out for the secondary member. You should write “Secondary” on the top of the form and fill it in completely, excluding payment information. The secondary member gets to choose divisions too.

  3. Then, send both forms with one payment (CEC joint membership dues plus the division dues for both people.) to CEC using the address/fax number on the form.

One additional opportunity! 

Receiving the CEC and DEC journals is a benefit of membership.  In particular, two of the journals that you will receive through DEC membership are the Journal of Early Intervention and Young Exceptional Children. If you are curious about these journals and would like to preview them, the publisher is making some of the articles available online through April 30, 2008 at the following website:  http://www.sagepublications.com/earlyeduarticles/
