The Membership and Nominations Committee is charged with soliciting and collecting nominations for new members. The Committee then presents its recommendations to the Board for a vote. New members need to receive a vote of two-thirds of the Executive Board to become a Fellow of the Society, and a vote of one half of the Executive Board to become a Friend of the Society.
The Chair of the Membership & Nominations Committee cannot nominate new members to the Society.
The Membership and Nominations Committee is also delegated with devising and administering the election of new Board members.
