• SVP is changing to a CALENDAR membership year (January 1 through December 31). SVP's normal membership year is October 1 through September 30.
• In order to move to a calendar year, SVP must have a, one-time, 15 month year: October 1, 2008   through December 31, 2009.
• Your dues have been prorated for this 15 month year. There have been NO INCREASES for dues  assessed for this 15 month year (in most instances, SVP has discounted the dues).
• Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology (JVP) — subscribing members will receive five (5) issues of the JVP  during this 15 month year: JVP28(4) through JVP29(4).   Then, starting in 2010, all Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology (JVP) — subscribing members will be receiving a complete volume of the JVP each membership year (issues 1 - 4 inclusive).
