A Fellow is a distinguished member, elected by Council, who by their influence or endeavour have promoted the advancement of parasitology and rendered conspicuous service to the cause of parasitology and the Society.
Nominations for election of a Fellow are to be in the form of a written citation detailing how the nominee has, by their influence or endeavour, promoted the advancement of parasitology and rendered conspicuous service to the cause of parasitology and the Society. Nominations require the signatures of a proposer and seconder, both of whom are Members of the Society, but a nomination for a Fellow does not require the signature (or knowledge) of the nominee. Nominations may be submitted to the Secretary (secretary@parasite.org.au) at any time.
Fellows will be elected by a three-quarters majority vote of Council at the first Council Meeting scheduled after the receipt of a nomination(s) by the Secretary. Fellows will be presented with a certificate at the first General Meeting after their election and shall pay no annual membership fees thereafter but shall enjoy all the rights and privileges of Ordinary Members including the right to vote.
