MEMBERSHIP FORM

NB: this form is to apply for membership of the Galton Institute

JOINING THE GALTON INSTITUTE

The Institute has two classes of member - life members and life fellows. Membership is open to all who share the Institute's aims and objectives. Life membership/fellowship costs a one-off payment of £50, with a reduction to £25 for students and retired.

Members receive the Institute's Newsletter free of charge.

New members are usually admitted initially as ordinary life members and may be upgraded to life Fellowship on making a significant contribution to the Institute's objectives. Only Fellows may be elected to Council or hold offices within the Institute.

Council is the Institute's governing body and comprises five Officers and up to fourteen ordinary members. It is a working body and its members are expected to attend three meetings a year in London, to write for the Newsletter or to contribute in some other way to the work of the Institute. The limitations on length of service laid down in the Institute's Articles ensure the regular rotation of Officers and Council members and thus afford ample opportunities for Fellows to participate in the government and administration of the Institute.
