Regular Membership

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, Headquarters Staff may create a petition when one is not submitted.

Once the petition and payment are in hand at Headquarters, the procedure is:

1. Check the Membership Book 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 Membership Book and assign a Membership Number.
3. Create a Secretary's Welcome letter from the Secretary (presently signed electronically).
4. Create a Membership Card, signed by a member of Headquarters Staff.
5. Create a Certificate of Membership, signed by the President and Secretary (presently done electronically), and affix the Corporate Seal.
6. Create a Consuls' Welcome memo from the Consuls, if that office still exists; else create a Welcome Memo and Checklist.
7. Mail the above four items, plus the current Augustæum and the current Augustan Omnibus 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 Roster.
10. Send an email to the Directors informing them of the new member.
11. After two weeks, send a summary of their interests to the list of Committee Chairmen.
