Admission Committee of the Association

Expert body

Admission Committee

The Admission Committee is formed by the Council of the Association and consists of recognized national and international experts in software development and information technology, each holding at least one externally verifiable mark of recognized standing in the field (for example, fellowship or senior membership of a recognized professional body, a full academic appointment, a significant independent professional award, or service on the jury or program committee of an authoritative competition or publication). A current honorary member may serve on the Committee, but for any honorary candidate a majority of the evaluating members must hold such externally verifiable standing independent of the Association. For ordinary membership the Committee performs an administrative confirmation of alignment with the profession — with no achievement requirement. Honorary membership is a separate procedure: the Committee conducts a substantive expert evaluation of achievements against the single outstanding-achievement standard and confers that status.
