Committee Charge

The purpose of the Membership Committee is to evaluate the status of membership in the Society and determine necessary areas for growth and mechanisms to enhance that growth. Additionally, the committee considers benefits offered by sibling societies of similar size, and methods for retaining current membership, such as the provision of member benefits. The committee’s charge includes monitoring the current membership in terms of their diversity in academic rank, levels of training, international representation, discipline, race/ethnicity, and gender. The committee also advises the SRCD Governing Council on issues related to membership including recruitment and maintenance of membership, structure of fees, and the like.
