The work of the board of examiners

The Board of Examiners of the Institute considers the qualifications of applicants for election to membership and for transfer to higher grades of membership, and reports its recommendations to the Board of Directors for action. One meeting is held every month and occasionally extra meetings of the entire Board or of subcommittees are necessary. The growth in membership of the Institute has naturally increased the work of the Board of Examiners; accordingly its personnel was increased at the beginning of this year to twelve, all Fellows of the Institute. The recent amendment to the Constitution, increasing the dues of Associates after the first six years of membership to the same amount as is paid by Members, has also had its effect in increasing the number of transfers to the higher grades.
