</gallery>-->
==Qualifications for Fellowships==
[[Headquarters Staff]] will track each member’s contributions as measured by the point values established, and will recommend election or promotion to the Board at each regular meeting for those members. Only members in Good Standing may be elected or promoted.
===Point values===
Should the honoree be unable to attend the Annual Convention in the calendar year of the award, the presentation may be delayed until the following year if they so request.
==Honorary Fellowship==
Honorary Fellowship, Fellowship ''honoris causa'', may be granted to those who are not members of the Society for causes felt sufficient by the [[Board]]. Such an awardee may use the postnomial FAS/hc, and to wear Honorary Fellow's lapel pin shown above.
[[Headquarters Staff]] will track the contributions of non-members in parallel with their tracking of member contributions, using the same point values.
==Activities==
Fellows and their guests are invited to attend the Fellows Dinner during the Society's [[Annual Convention]], as well as other occasional activities, as may be organized by the [[Dean of Fellows]].
==Resignation of Fellowship==
Fellowship may be resigned, either by sending a written resignation to Headquarters (email is accepted), or by returning the Certificate of Fellowship without explanation. Such resignations are effective immediately upon receipt, even if a later date is specified. Written messages threatening to resign if the Society does or fails to do something are also taken as immediate resignation.
There has not yet been a case of restoration of Fellowship. One supposes that the Board would have to consider a petition for restoration, but Headquarters Staff are directed to say that resignation is irrevocable.
