So...the Institute Bylaws do state that ..."Members so qualified may, upon approval of their application by the
Board, be granted the status of Member Emeritus." The website page is not consistent with this Article IX, Section 6. I wonder why the Board would want to be involved in such a straightforward situation - either you're old enough and have been a member long enough to qualify - or you're not.

Hi there - I read your message and then went to the website page noted for retired and emeritus members. I don't see anything about voting being needed. When I became an emeritus member last year, I just filled out the form, had the Chapter president sign it, and sent it to member services. Has something changed?

From the GSR Institute Director,
I am working on my update from the board meeting last month but there are two items I would like to promote immediately.
First, retired or emeritus members must be voted on in person by the board. Our next board meeting will be the first week of February 2019. I mention this now because most like to present this transition at your year-end awards celebration. So to make that happen the board must approve in February as our next face to face meeting is not until June.
If you would like to transition a member to one of these classifications, please follow the instructions provided in this link:
https://www.csiresources.org/communities/membership/individual-membership/emeritus
Second, the dynamic chapter program, deadline to sign up 10/21/18 and I know everyone is busy with their CSI year. I would highly encourage you to participate in the program. If need be, table some of your business and work with this program. Investing in yourself and chapter is time well spent. For further details, please follow the instruction provided in this link:

Lastly, I know the competition for your time is fierce, so I THANK YOU for your support of CSI!
