Emeritus

Former members in good standing may join as "emeritus members." This category is designed for retirees or those who have assumed non-resource development activities in higher education. Emeritus members may serve on various CRD Committees but cannot serve as voting members on the organization's Board of Directors. Emeritus membership is not available to former members who have become consultants or joined companies which provide services or products to the membership. These individuals are welcome to apply as "affiliated" members.

Honorary

From time to time the Board of Directors may award honorary membership to individuals not serving in a resource development capacity at a community college. Potential honorary members could include members of Congress, the Federal Executive Branch of Government, Agency Program Officers, Association Executives, other professionals, and volunteers. Honorary members will pay no dues and have no voting rights. They could serve as members of the Board of Directors with no voting rights.

FEE: None

Affiliated

Individuals, consultants, associations, businesses, and companies who provide services or products to CRD members may become affiliated members upon the invitation of the Board of Directors. While they will not have any rights in the governance of the organization, they are entitled to membership benefits determined by CRD. However, they will not be allowed to promote their products or services on the CRD "listserv."
