Membership shall be limited to up to five (5) individuals who have rendered extraordinary and distinguished service to the Association.

One Person – One Class of Membership – although it is possible for a Member to be qualified for more than one (1) class of Membership in the Association, no single person may hold Membership in more than one (1) class of membership. It is, therefore, mandatory that each Member shall declare himself/herself prior to the start of any meeting of the Membership and advise the chairperson of the Membership class he/she wishes to be a part of. Once the meeting is called to order, the Member must remain in that class of Membership and may not change to another category or class of Membership for the duration of the meeting.
There is a maximum of one ballot per person, regardless of how many ballots the person is eligible for based on the below criteria.
