Honorary membership guideliness
The award recognizes a member of the ESVD who has advanced the profession through leadership and service that affirms an uncommon and sustained dedication to veterinary dermatology. All ESVD members should be informed at least annually through newsletters and other announcements that nominations for honorary membership may be submitted by any member of the society to the secretary/treasurer on an official nomination form at least six months before the next annual AGM provided that the board of directors may waive or alter this notice requirement in exceptional circumstances. The person(s) nominating a potential honoree should submit a brief biography, including accomplishments and reasons for granting honorary membership. Honorary members receive a honorary membership certificate at the annual AGM. They are free of ESVD membership fee and receive the paperback issue of the Journal of Veterinary Dermatology. The annual ESVD-ECVD congress nor the World Congress fee are not included in this membership form.
Criteria and the selection process
Each candidates nominations should be supported by at least 3 ESVD members. Meritorious achievement: Leadership and service that affirms an uncommon and sustained dedication to dermatology in the goals of the ESVD are of primary consideration. In most cases, the honorary membership is bestowed as recognition for a lifetime of dedication and distinguished service. Age: There is no set age. In most cases, those who have experienced a meritorious career will be in the senior age group, but it is possible that an exception might occur, so it is preferred not to state an absolute figure. In most cases, individuals selected are 65 years of age or older. Board membership: Having previously held a prominent office in the ESVD board is not a determining factor. The honorary membership should be bestowed upon individuals on behalf of the field of dermatology, and should not necessarily be based on one's society political involvement. The decision for granting honorary membership rests with the board of directors. The board must have the freedom to respond on the basis of each individual candidate's merits.
