Annual Membershp Dues: TAX - DEDUCTIBLE
Dear Fellow KASTRO Members,
Your membership dues will not only be used to pay for the KASTRO dinner program, but will also be used to sponsor one resident physician to attend the KASTRO dinner program as well. We can all fondly remember our days as radiation oncology residents and this is an important way for each of us to continue to foster our relationship with the next generation. KASTRO does not charge radiation oncology residents a membership fee due to the generosity of its members.
Over the years, KASTRO has been an excellent organization in providing scholarships to deserving U.S. and Korean residents, mentorship of residents and young attending physicians, and fostering fellowship among the Korean radiation oncology community. It is a unique organization that has served its members well. We look forward to making this organization grow and continue to meet the needs of its members.
Even if you are not attending KASTRO this year, I encourage you to pay your annual dues for the good of the organization at large.
This year the membership fees will be collected at the door for KASTRO members:
Resident: free
Members: $125
Board Members: $200
If you are unable to attend the meeting,
Please send checks made payable KASTRO for $200 for 2017 KASTRO membership dues to:
Attn: D. Nathan Kim
If you prefer to pay by credit card, please contact Nathan Kim, and he can process your membership dues that way.
