Students, first-time teachers and new members join for $35 a year.
Design note: Concept A leads with the society's story. This concept leads with what people come to do. The hero answers one question for a newcomer — can I belong here, and what does it cost? — in one screen, with the student price visible because early-career members are the ones the RFP says CAMWS is losing.
