[comp.org.acm] joining a SIG?

wensel@janus.Berkeley.EDU (Sharon Taylor) (05/31/91)

I am currently a  member of the ACM.  I would like to
join a SIG, specifically SIGOPS.  The membership form
is a little vague on this.  My current ACM membership
will expire is 11/91 -- if I join SIGOPS now, will I
then have to renew the ACM and SIGOPS memberships at
different times each year?  (It is my understanding that
they are usually billed together.)  Is it possible to
pay for half a year of SIGOPS, and then renew both
membership at the same time in 11/91?

Any information about this would be appreciated.
I thought I'd give this newsgroup a try because it's
easier to post than wade through a phone call (getting
transferred around from person to person until you
get to someone who can answer your question is not
my idea of fun!), but if nobody knows the answer to
this I'll definitely give the folks at ACM a call.

Thanks a lot!
