The membership committee makes its recommendation to Council for acceptance of the candidate at its annual meeting typically held in August of each year. At the annual Council meeting, approval is given for recommendations made by the membership committee. Announcement of approved candidates is given the following day at the Annual Business Meeting. Shortly after the Council meeting, a ballot is provided to all eligible voting members of the Society. Prospective members will be voted upon individually.
Results are available after one month and all candidates are notified.
A membership certificate is provided.
