Election to membership requires a two-thirds affirmative vote of the Board of Directors.

If you are taking part in our Member-get-a-Member Campaign, please be sure to include the name of the ASLMS member you represent.

Prior to consideration by the Board of Directors, the names of all applicants are submitted to the membership. Members may comment on applicants to the Secretary who will present comments to the Board of Directors.

Applicants not approved for the membership class applied for may appeal the Board of Directors' decision according to the Society's Bylaws.

Appeals must be initiated by a written request to the Secretary for a statement of the reasons for the Board of Directors' action and a written request, within 30 days of receiving the statement of reasons, for a hearing by the Board of Directors.

Although the Board of Directors will allow the applicant to present arguments, evidence and testimony, the Board of Directors is under no obligation to disclose communication from members about the application.

Application deadlines:  February 1st, May 1st, August 1st, November 1st.

Applications are reviewed by the ASLMS Board of Directors in January, April, July, and October.
