Regular Membership in The Augustan Society, Inc., may be entered into in two ways:

  1. New members
  2. 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:

  1. Check the Master Roster to see if the petition is a former member. If so, refer to the procedure under Return to Membership.
  2. Enter the petitioner's name in the Master Roster and assign a Membership Number.
  3. Create a letter of welcome from the Secretary (presently signed electronically).
  4. Create a Membership Card, signed by a Consul.
  5. Create a Certificate of Membership, presently signed electronically by the President and Secretary, and affix the Corporate Seal.
  6. Create a memo of welcome from the Consuls.
  7. Mail the above four items, plus the current Augustæum and the current Ominbus to the new member.
  8. Notify the Custodian of Insignia to send a Member Pin to the new member.
  9. Enter the new member's data into the Master Roster.
  10. Send an email to the Directors informing them of the new member, including the text of their petition.
  11. After two weeks, send a summary of their interests to the list of Committee Chairmen.
