Membership of FASC - Individual member and Young affiliate

As you may be aware, FASC has had difficulties with their bank account in Ethiopia. Government regulations there made it impossible to move monies in/out of the country. Further, covid-19 has had a disruptive influence on chemistry in Africa and as lockdown restrictions are lifted FASC can now continue with its objectives/work. As of December 2021 the FASC executive, after consultation with the RSC, have opened a bank account in South Africa. The account will be administered, with help, using the SACI facilities. This will allow for accounts to be audited and for easy money transfers.

FASC is thus at last in a position to restart collecting annual fees. During the past year, we have introduced two new FASC membership categories – Individual and Young affiliate membership.

The fees for 2024 are:

Individual member: US $10 Young affiliate: US $5 Payments can be made to the account listed on the invoice emailed to you  after registration.

Yours sincerely
Prof Neil Coville
FASC Past President
