PROCESSING OF APPLICATIONS
Application forms can be obtained here or by writing the National Secretary to whom they are to be returned upon completion. A completed form must be accompanied by the appropriate fee in bank draft, bank certified cheque or cash paid at the secretariat at the point of submission or into any First Bank Plc, AC No: 2000055846, Sort Code: 011151896, photocopies of credentials, curriculum vitae (CV), Letter of Employment(if employed)/ Letter of Promotion and a certified passport photograph.
Each application is first sent to a Membership Committee scrutineer who checks it against requirements and makes a preliminary assessment. It is then put before the next meeting of the Membership Committee which considers the application and makes a recommendation to Council. If the information is inadequate or if references are not adequate, the application has to be deferred until they are available and may be considered at subsequent meetings of the Membership Committee (held at approximately two month intervals). In some cases, it may be necessary for the Council to exercise its prerogative of requiring further evidence in whatever form it considers desirable. Finally, the recommendation is considered by the Council and the applicant is notified of the Council’s decision.
