AAWC Update

The AAWC celebrates the 25th anniversary of the Symposium on Advanced Wound Care by offering a 25% limited-time discount on 2012 clinician membership dues!

  In recognition of the SAWC’s 25th Anniversary in Atlanta, April 19-22, the AAWC is offering clinician members a 25% discount on membership dues. Join or renew before April 30 to take advantage of the savings. Promotion ends on May 1.

  The new dues rate is $108.75 instead of $145.00. This limited-time clinician price is the lowest in more than 5 years! Then take that savings and join us for an extra 20% AAWC-member discount on the SAWC registration fee. To save even more, register for the SAWC Spring before the Early Bird discount ends on March 9! Remember, you have to be an AAWC Member first to receive the discount.   Perhaps your AAWC membership doesn’t expire before May, and you’re wondering how this limited-time discount on dues can apply to you. Simply renew your AAWC membership early, and we’ll add an additional whole year of discounts and benefits to your existing membership.

  Joining or renewing is easy. Just go to www.aawconline.org and click “join/renew.”

  Attendance to the SAWC Spring or SAWC Fall conference is not mandatory to receive your 25% discount on AAWC Clinician Dues. But be sure to join or renew before May 1st.

Additional money-saving AAWC Membership opportunities

  Every 25th member who registers for the SAWC Spring has a chance to win free 2013 SAWC registration. So, if you are an AAWC Member when you register for SAWC Spring in Atlanta, and you are the 25th, 50th, 75th (and so on) AAWC Member registrant, you will be placed into a drawing for a free SAWC 2013 registration. This free registration is good for either the 2013 spring or fall meeting, and it is transferrable.

  New AAWC Member Benefit: AAWC Members receive a discount of 20% to attend the ICD-10 Documentation Webinars and Coding Workshops.
