Honorary Membership
Honorary Membership is awarded in recognition of a member's active involvement and contribution to AACRAO by the Board of Directors. Honorary members no longer employed full-time shall be entitled to benefits from the association, such
as free meeting registration and waiver of dues. Should an Honorary Member gain full-time employment and thereby become eligible for institutional or corporate AACRAO membership, the benefits of Honorary Membership will be suspended until the individual
is no longer eligible.
Honorary membership will be considered for AACRAO members who have retired from their institution or are attending their last AACRAO Annual Meeting before retirement, and who have accumulated a minimum of 100 points based on significant participation
