Life Membership

Deadline for submissions: February 15

Introduction:

Life membership is a special category to which charter members, members, and associate members and international associate members, upon entering retirement, may be elected following nomination. Life members will not be required to pay any dues or assessments.

Qualification Criteria:

The following criteria must be fulfilled to be considered for election:

  1. The candidate must have been active in the field of poultry health for a minimum of 25 years.
  2. The candidate must have made significant contributions to the American Association of Avian Pathologists.  Examples of significant contributions are serving on the Board of Directors, and/or serving on committees of the AAAP such as the Editorial Boards associated with the AAAP (Diseases of Poultry, Avian Diseases, Isolation and Identification of Avian Pathogens, etc.), Awards Committee, and/or other committees essential for the AAAP.
  3. The candidate must have made significant contributions to the field of poultry health.

Equal weight will be given to criteria 2 and 3 in the decision to elect the candidate to life membership.  Retirement is interpreted to mean that the member or associate member has retired from major gainful employment.  Nominations will be accepted from AAAP members.  Nominations for election as life members will be submitted to the Awards Committee, approved by the Awards Committee, and approved by a two-thirds vote of the Governing Board.
