Regular Membership
From Augustan Society Staff Wiki
Regular Membership in The Augustan Society, Inc., may be entered into in two ways:
- New members
- Returning members
The procedure for handling each is slightly different.
In both cases a Petition for Membership is required. Normally, these are completed by the petitioner and returned either on paper or electronically. In rare cases, Staff may create a petition when one is not submitted.
Once the petition and payment are in hand at HQ, the procedure is:
- Check the Master Roster to see if the petition is a former member. If so, refer to the procedure under Return to Membership.
- Enter the petitioner's name in the Master Roster and assign a Membership Number.
- Create a letter of welcome from the Secretary (presently signed electronically).
- Create a Membership Card, signed by a Consul.
- Create a Certificate of Membership, presently signed electronically by the President and Secretary, and affix the Corporate Seal.
- Create a memo of welcome from the Consuls.
- Mail the above four items, plus the current Augustæum and the current Ominbus to the new member.
- Notify the Custodian of Insignia to send a Member Pin to the new member.
- Enter the new member's data into the Membership Book.
- Send an email to the Directors informing them of the new member, including the text of their petition.
- After two weeks, send a summary of their interests to the list of Committee Chairmen.
