Lifetime Members

This honor recognizes and rewards individual ASID members for their special contributions to the Society. This award is limited to past ASID Society-level Chairs and other professional members who meet the eligibility criteria. Lifetime Awards should not be confused with retired or inactive status, and are not tied to financial hardship considerations. New Lifetime members must pay dues for the year in which they are approved. However, after the year has ended, the Lifetime Award recipient is exempt from all annual dues payments. Lifetime Award recipients retain all rights and privileges of regular professional membership.
