I've held memberships with the Internet Society and Computer Professionals for Social Responsibility for several years.   Dues are reasonable for individual and student members.   Wish I could say "active" member, but too busy with personal (Christian) volunteer efforts and with family for yet another outside commitment.

I've long wanted to join IEEE's Communications Society and Computer Society, but their dues were pretty high the last time I checked.

Hmmm... Does almost a year with this outfit count as membership in a professional society? {grin}
