From Augustan Society Staff Wiki
Certificates are issued by The Augustan Society, Inc., as evidence of Society action on any number of topics. These topics may include:
- Membership in the Society or its sub-groups
- Fellowship or Awards of the Society
- Registration of Arms
- Recognition of Orders of Chivalry*
- Recognition of Orders of Chivalry qualifying members for the Society of Descendants of the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem*
- Recognition of membership and rank in Orders of Chivalry*
- Recognition of royal or noble titles*
- Recognition of loyalty (multiples of 10-year membership)
- Acceptance of lineages*
- Resolutions of thanks or commendation
* These certificates are issued only upon request, the others are automatically generated upon the actions of the Board or others.
While the design of certificates may vary, all must include the following elements:
- The arms of the Society
- The arms of the relevent sub-group, if any
- The full name of the Society
- The name of any relevant sub-group of the Society
- The name of the recipient, with all titles, pre- and post-nominals then recognized
- The signatures of the responsible officers
- When reflecting Board actions, the signature of the Secretary
- The embossed seal of the Society
Note: Signatures may be applied electronically by Headquarters Staff with the permission of the signers, provided a copy of each such applied signature is sent to the signer.
Presently, the design includes:
- Goldenrod stock, 8½×11"; except for certificates of registration of arms, which are on white stock, 11×17" folded once
- Full color printing
- A gold foil under the seal
The specific officers responsible for each certificate are listed on the pages that reference them.
