Who Can Be Nominated?
AIAA wishes to recognize its members through the honors and awards program while also recognizing the most respected individuals worldwide. AIAA membership is not required, however because contributions to the aerospace community are important criteria in the selection of award recipients, AIAA service/participation may be a discriminator between otherwise equal candidates. In general, for technical awards, the nominee must not have been a member of the AIAA Technical Committee (TC) who is responsible for that particular technical award for the past two years.
Generally only members of the PTO are eligible to be nominated for elected office. However, if the bylaws do not stipulate this requirement, it is conceivable that a nonmember may present herself for nomination. (Your bylaws should also define who is considered a member of the group.) Some PTOs might have more stringent requirements, such as a formal succession plan (for example, “you must serve at least one term as assistant treasurer before you can be nominated for treasurer”).
