Petition to Become an ACHS Member Society

New Petitions

Before petitioning to become an ACHS Member Society, please consider the Honor Society Standards of Excellence, a guideline for certifying the quality of member societies, and review the ACHS Eligibility Requirements.

• Discuss above comparison with the Executive Director and/or Board President, and make changes necessary to meet all of the standards and criteria.

• Optional, but advisable: Participate as an observer at an ACHS Annual Council Meeting that typically takes place in early spring during our annual conference.

• File petition (and accompanying materials) with the ACHS Executive Director.

• Petition for Membership Form
  

• Petitioning Society’s Self-Assessment Form
