Beginning in 2016, the deadlines for submitting membership proposals will be changed to March 15, June 15, and September 15.
We modified our deadlines to ensure that all newly elected members in a class-year are notified of their election with ample time to plan to attend the new member events at the Annual Meeting.
Annual Meeting attendance of new members has averaged 50 percent over the past few years. Under the old deadlines, attendance by the January nominees, who are notified of election in late March/early April, has been significantly lower than that of other groups. Under the new deadlines, the September nominees will be notified of their election by December, well before our Annual Meeting.
For more detailed information on ALI’s membership process or to propose a new member now, visit the Members area of the website. You must be signed into the site to access members-only content.
Please note: October 15, 2015 is the last date you will be able to nominate a candidate and have them acted upon by the Membership Committee in time to be eligible to attend the 93rd Annual Meeting (May 2016) as a newly elected member.
Please contact the Membership Department if you have any questions about your candidates or the membership proposal process.
