===== INNS Membership Recognition and Progression Scheme 2020 =====
Since 2008 the INNS has introduced a new membership category of Senior Member (SM) to recognize INNS members for their contributions, and to allow for a progression of the INNS members to a higher recognition membership status. We call for 2020 Senior Member Nominations under the following conditions:
- A regular or affiliate member of the INNS, who has been an INNS member for at least 5 consecutive years, can be nominated by an INNS member, including the applicant, for Senior Member.
- The applicant must have demonstrated a significant contribution to the theory and/or applications and/or education and promotion of the subject discipline, and this must be stated in the nomination letter.
- For 2020, an on-line senior membership application can be made through the website at: [[http://www.cse.cuhk.edu.hk/irwin.king/inns/sm_application_form]].
- **For nominator**.
