AATSEEL Information
(Revised 2 September 1998):
The following general information about AATSEEL answers most of the
questions received by this office. Please feel free to contact us if other
information is needed.
WHAT IS AATSEEL?
The American Association of Teachers of Slavic and East European
Languages (AATSEEL), founded in 1941, exists to advance the study and
promote the teaching of Slavic and East European languages, literatures,
and cultures on all educational levels, elementary through graduate school.
While the largest proportion of its activities and members concentrate in
the area of Russian, AATSEEL has from the beginning stressed that it
embraces all Slavic and East European languages, literatures, linguistics
and cultures. AATSEEL holds an annual conference in December of each year;
its publications include the Slavic and East European Journal (four times a
year) and the AATSEEL Newsletter (six times a year).
MEMBERSHIP:
Membership covers the calendar year (January-December). SEEJ and
Newsletter address labels show the year through which one is paid; all
memberships and subscriptions expire in December of the year indicated.
Renewal memberships: Renewals extend the paid-up period through
the following December. Renewals should be made by 15 March of the new
year in order to ensure uninterrupted flow of publications. Earlier
renewals are encouraged; multiple-year renewals are also accepted.
New and reinstated memberships: Unless otherwise directed, new and
reinstated memberships and subscriptions are credited to the year in which

PROCEDURES:
You don't need a form to join AATSEEL, register for the conference
or send in a subscription or back-issue order; a letter will do. Just be
sure to include all relevant information, such as the following:
1. WHAT you are requesting (e.g., Membership--in what category?
Conference preregistration? Both conference preregistration and
membership? Back issues--which volume and number? Etc.).
2. Current MAILING ADDRESS.
3. CONTACT information (such as phone, fax, or email--for office
follow-up, if needed).
4. AFFILIATION as you would like to have it appear on your
conference registration.
5. A CHECK for the correct amount. Please make all checks payable
to AATSEEL, Inc., in US dollars. Send orders, payments, or other inquiries

phone/fax: 520/885-2663
email: 76703.2063 at compuserve.com
Finally, please keep us apprised well in advance of any changes in your
mailing address. Every publication that is returned to AATSEEL costs your
association money, and results in delays and inconvenience to you. Each
issue of the AATSEEL Newsletter contains a form you may use to update your
address--but even a simple letter or postcard will do.
