Included in the survey were a number of questions pertaining to the value that members derive from the Society's products and services. Asked to classify the value of their AMS membership dues as "excellent," "satisfactory," or "not good value," 93% chose at least "satisfactory," including 36% who selected "excellent." The three most frequently cited reasons for joining the AMS were attendance at meetings, access to publications, and staying informed. Consistent with these reasons, AMS-sponsored scientific conferences, AMS journals, and BAMS were found to be at least somewhat valuable to more than 90% of survey participants. Those who expressed some level of dissatisfaction cited as reasons the cost of membership dues, travel and registration costs associated with AMS conferences, or a feeling of not being included in the Society. These findings may be pertinent to the Society's long-term planning for its offering of products and services.
