Vermont Astronomical Society

Membership includes a subscription to our quarterly newsletter, The Morning Star. All members may enjoy use of any VAS equipment once they have demonstrated competence and responsibility in doing so.

Associate

For those who wish to acquire a basic knowledge of astronomy or make use of VAS equipment. These are non-voting memberships. Associate members are not required to contribute time or services to the Society.

Full

New members may not join the VAS as Full members with voting privileges. For those who wish to be actively involved in amateur astronomy in Vermont. Full members are required to contribute time and services to the Society, and enjoy full voting privileges.

To become a Full member, an Associate, Student, or Junior member must make their wishes known at a monthly meeting, where they will be assigned a sponsor from among the Full members. This sponsor will work and observe with the prospective Full member for a period of three months, after which acceptance of Full membership will be considered by the voting members.

Life

For those individuals who wish to aid in the financial support of the VAS, see that existing programs are continued, see VAS develop new programs or research, or provide for new equipment. Life members may also be Associate members, or, if qualified and approved, Full voting members.
