With the start of the new year it is time for all of us to renew our Membership! At the 2008 Board of Directors Meeting an increase was approved for the annual dues. General membership fees will increase from $30 to $50 USD, Student membership fees will increase from $20 to $30 USD, and Life Membership fees will increase from $300 to $500 USD. The fee increase will go into effect for the calendar year 2008, so if you have not already become a Life Member and are considering doing so this would be a very economical time to do so before the rates go up!!! IFESS operates on the calendar year and needs operating capital from its members to support conference and support activities. Please visit this link to update your membership, to qualify for conference and journal subscription discounts and to support your society!!!
The Upper Limb Assessment Group was established to develop standards for the clear and objective clinical assessment of upper limb function. Please visit our webpage for updates on our activities.
