  • 1.  Senior Member Upgrade

    Posted 07 Apr, 2020 07:33
    We would like to encourage AIAA Members to upgrade their ranks to Senior Members.  AIAA membership advancements are both a means of personal recognition and a reflection of a member's standing in the professional community.  Advancement to Senior Member status can be made if the individual has demonstrated successful professional practice in the arts, sciences, or technology of aeronautics or astronautics.  The process is very simple and will take only a few minutes.

    Who is eligible: Candidate needs to be a professional member.  The candidate will have at least eight (8) years of professional experience or eight (8) years of consecutive AIAA membership.  Post baccalaureate engineering or science degrees shall be considered equivalent to professional practice for equivalent number of years, up to a maximum of four (4) years.

    What you need: A short (1000 character) biographical sketch and the names and emails of two (2) references who are AIAA members at the rank of Senior Member or higher.

    Where to start: Login to your AIAA.org.  Go to MyAIAA.  Scroll down to the very bottom right, under NOMINATIONS & VOTING.  Select/Click: Senior Member Online Nomination.

    How long it takes: Usually, you are approved within a week.  The key is for your two (2) references to login and endorse you.  The process is fairly simple and is best done by the member wanting to upgrade.
