Membership Categories
Emeritus members
This category is open to any ESA member who is in good
standing and has retired from
active professional service with 15 consecutive or 20
cumulative years of membership. Members must apply to the Governing Board
for Emeritus Member status. Click here to see our
members-only roster of current ESA Emeritus members. Anyone seeking Emeritus status needs to submit an application.
Benefits are the same as for regular members. Please read the information below to
apply to become an Emeritus member.
Emeritus Gold members
This is a sub-category of Emeritus membership. Once a member
has achieved Emeritus status and has reached 75 years of age (or more), they are
automatically eligible for Emeritus Gold status. The member must contact ESA's
Membership Services Department in writing at
mem@entsoc.org and ask to have their membership type changed.
To apply for ESA Emeritus membership status:
- An applicant must notify Headquarters of his/her desire to change to Emeritus
or Emeritus Gold (if 75 years of age or more).
- Headquarters (or its designee) makes a note of this desire and will submit
this request to the ESA Governing Board on a semi-annual basis.
- The ESA Governing Board will vote on whether or not to accept this request.
- If accepted, Headquarters (or its designee) will contact the applicant and
convey this information. From that point forward, the member is now an Emeritus
member of the Society with all the rights and privileges thereof. This includes
reduced dues and the opportunity to pay reduced rates at the ESA Annual
Meeting.
- If not accepted, the member's status would remain unchanged.
To apply for Emeritus or Emeritus-Gold status, please e-mail
memupdate@entsoc.org
or phone 410-263-3622.
