How to join the HGS
HGS Membership Information
If you are interested
in joining the Houston Geological Society,
and you meet the qualifications below, please submit
your
paper application to the HGS office. We are
in the process of developing an on-line application
method,
but
it has been slightly delayed so we can implement
on-line dues renewal at the same time and to accomodate
a pending re-organization of the Membership Committee.
We still hope to have on-line membership application
available during March,
2005.
You currently have these options
to obtain a paper membership application form:
Consider your $24 annual dues as a solid investment
in your career. The HGS provides its members with
many
benefits including a superb technical meeting program,
educational/professional seminars, short courses,
sporting
and social events, membership directory and this excellent
monthly bulletin. Each event provides great opportunities
to network and keep up with what is going on in our
industry. The annual cost of only $24 is easily recouped

year, the well-attended HGS golf tournament was discounted
$25 to its members. Please maintain your membership
