  • Complimentary meeting registration
• Non-Member Speaker: Highly qualified speakers who are not yet association members may be invited by session organizers or chairs to participate in PAS.

PAS Scholarly Session Program Chairs
Chairs are not eligible for complimentary meeting registration or compensation. Chairs who provide an overview/presentation longer than 10 minutes will be classified as both a chair and a speaker and therefore are eligible for the speaker support detailed above.

Moderators, Discussants, Poster Facilitators, and Presenters are not eligible for complimentary meeting registrations. All participants must register for the PAS Meeting.

PAS Clubs
All participants must register for the PAS Meeting. If grant funding is obtained, the PAS Speaker Support Policy applies, and grant funding is used first towards the speaker and audiovisual expenses and then for other expenses. If grant funding is not obtained, no speaker support is offered; registration and travel expenses are the responsibility of the speaker.
