Membership in the Society is open to anyone with an interest
in herpetology. One benefit of membership is eligibility for the Society's
popular Grants-in-Herpetology program. In addition
to the GIH program, the Society's International Cooperation Committee
recently has completed an extensive compilation of funding sources entitled
International Grant Programs. The Society's
Henri Seibert Awards are presented at each
