Associate Membership
The General Committee in 2001 approved the greater use of provisions already existing in the Fellowship’s constitution, to offer associate membership to Christian nurses, health professionals, clergy, MPs, Christian journalists, etc, who sign the membership declaration and pay a reduced subscription. As such they will receive Triple Helix, and gain access to general CMF activities where appropriate. In addition there is the possibility for any member of CMF to nominate individuals of distinction for honorary associate membership of CMF, provided that they are interested and able to sign the membership declaration. This category requires the unanimous consent of the Executive for each applicant.
You will find an associate membership brochure and joining form with this mailing. Why not recruit a colleague to become an associate member, or nominate an individual known to you who would appreciate an invitation to become an honorary associate member of CMF?
We now have just over 900 student members, and 4,700 graduate members. Please help us reach our target of 1,000 students and 5,000 graduates by the end of 2002? Please ask the office for joining forms, and further supplies of associate membership forms from the office.
