Some of you are members of the international Sign Language Linguistics Society (SLLS). Others of you have been members in the past but your membership has lapsed. We are writing to ask you to become a member (or renew your membership) in 2018.<o:p class=""></o:p></div>

<b class="">The SLLS is a non-profit organization that is supported with membership payments</b>. By becoming a member, you support the activities of the society for the field as a whole, including the maintenance and development of the SLLS web site, mailing
list, and assistance with TISLR conferences. SLLS currently offers awards to students for outstanding work presented at TISLR conferences, and future plans include offering support for a limited number of attendees from developing countries. <o:p class=""></o:p></div>

In the past, SLLS memberships were included in TISLR registration, but since TISLR 2016 in Melbourne, Australia, we have asked people to renew their memberships online. If you have renewed for 2018, we thank you. <o:p class=""></o:p></div>

<b class="">If you want to support SLLS but have not paid your membership fee for 2018 (€10 for student members and €30 for regular members), we ask you to do that now. If you’re not sure, it’s quick and easy to check:<o:p class=""></o:p></b></div>
