How to Join?

The cost of ABSEL membership is US $ 60 a year (or $ 100 with a subscription to Simulation and Gaming Journal). Memberships are based on the ABSEL fiscal year, from April 1 to March 31. For instance, an application received in March 2007 would result in a membership from April 1, 2007 to March 31, 2008. An application received in April would have been for April 1, 2007 to March 31, 2008. Along with your ABSEL membership you will receive the following benefits:

  1. If you so choose, an annual discounted subscription ($ US 40) to the Journal of Simulation and Gaming: An International Journal of Theory, Practice and Research
  2. A copy of the Bernie Keys Library in Business Simulation and Experiential Learning (a CD-ROM with text-searchable copies of all the volumes of Developments in Business Simulation and Experiential Learning since the beginning of the organization in 1974, the Guide to Business Simulation and Experiential Learning, and other important research materials.)
  3. A subscription to ABSEL News and Views (the ABSEL newsletter)
