ACADEMY MEMBERSHIP
Membership Qualifications
At present, the Academy has over 100 active and non-active members. Academicians, wishing to propose candidates should submit a letter of reference. The Membership Committee will present a list of candidates for each Section (see below) to the general society. This will be done in January and June of each year. As noted elsewhere, candidates must be proposed by two Academicians of the Academy. There are two ways for individuals to gain membership
* Ask two academicians to sign their application for membership; or
* Be proposed for membership.
All requests must be approved by the Membership Committee. Guidelines are determined by the Membership Committee to ascertain the number of elections to be held in each section per year. Nomination papers signed by the Academicians must contain a copy of the candidates' biographical sketch, reasons for election and a list of his/her principal publications. These documents are provided by proposing Academicians and a ballot is held to determine the ranking of the candidate (Associate or Academician).
