SWG Membership Application Process

BIOGRAPHICAL DATA FORM

The Biographical Data Form is designed to gather information on a candidate's qualifications. It accompanies the membership ballot sent to all members of the National Executive Council that elects new members. THE COMPLETED FORM SHOULD BE RETURNED TO YOUR SPONSOR.

This form becomes a part of the permanent record of members that eventually will be sent to the Library of Congress. We hope you will fill out the form with this historical record in mind. Acronyms should be spelled out the first time they are used and you should provide specific dates of your travel (i.e. 8/93-6/94," not "93/94." A brief curriculum vitae (up to four pages) may be attached and referenced for relevant topics.

If you fill out this form electronically, we ask that you print out and sign a hard copy that should be returned to your sponsor. You should also send the completed email version electronically to Headquarters (SWGHQ@verizon.net).

Upon election, you will receive an invitation to join the Society. Please note that membership does not become final until receipt of your written acceptance and payment of dues for the current year. Annual dues are $75 for Active and Associate Group members, and are not prorated. Active and Associate At-Large members (those who live outside any organized Group area) pay $50 per year. Corresponding members (those who live outside the United States) are assessed the same dues as At-Large members.
