Subscribe the LSFN list-serv. The list-serv is our primary way of communicating about meetings, events, opportunities, and sharing pertinent information. This is the quickest and most effective way to keep in touch about all LSFN-related activities. Once you have subscribed, please feel free to send an email to group introducing yourself!

Pay annual dues. Annual dues of $10 help the LSFN fund social events and other activities. Dues can be paid via PayPal or by contacting the Treasurer directly. Note that only dues-paying members are allowed to run for Executive Committee positions or vote in elections.
