ATPAC MEMBERSHIP


According to Article IV of the ATPAC By-laws, there are four classes of membership: regular members and life members (professionals), associate members (ATPAC's Youth: ATPACY, students and postgraduate trainees), honorary members, and institutional members.

Regular Members and Life Members: ATPAC members shall be professionals, who are interested in the objectives of the Association. Members shall be required to pay an initiation fee and applicable annual dues. Members who have paid a Life-Member fee as determined by the Board of Directors shall be Life Members and shall be exempt from paying further annual dues in his/her lifetime. Regular and Life Members shall be entitled to hold office and vote on matters submitted to a vote of the Members.

Associate Members: Associate Members shall be students who are interested in the objectives of the Association and members of the ATPAC Youth Chapter. The Associate Members shall pay an initiation fee, and annual dues as determined by the Board of Directors. The Associate Members shall enjoy all the privileges of the members except that they shall not have the right to vote or hold office.

Honorary Members: The Board of Directors may elect as "Honorary Members" individuals: (a) who have rendered distinguished services to Thailand in the area of science, technology or education; or (b) who have supported and furthered the causes of the Association. The Honorary Members shall not be required to pay fees or dues but shall enjoy all the privileges of the Members except that they shall not have the right to vote or hold office.

Institution Members: This class of members consists of institutions, which have contributed to or supported the objectives and activities of the Association.

ATPACY is a special group, with which ATPAC is concerned. The executive committees of ATPAC strongly envisions the crucial role of the younger Thai generation to be the main driving force of ATPAC in the future. The profile of our younger Thai generation in North America is categorized into: (1) those who came to North America for advanced study under the Thai government scholarship; (2) those who support themselves; (3) those who were born and raised in North America or the Thai Americans. It is essential that ATPAC and other Thai Associations encourage unity among these three groups.
