What is a Fellow?

A Fellow Member is a person recognised for that person's experience and high standing in the research and associated industries elected as a Fellow Member by resolution of the Board following a recommendation from existing Fellows. A Fellow Member shall have all the rights and privileges of a financial Individual Member (RANZ Constitution Rule 2.2(C)). To be eligible, the proposed fellow must fit the following criteria:

  • Candidates for Fellowship must have been a member of the Association for at least the past 5 years.
  • The contribution of the candidate should have benefited the industry as a whole, through exposure of ideas and techniques in the public domain, by expansion of the industry into new areas for broader results rather than pure personal gain, or through contribution to the cohesiveness and perceived importance of the industry. These types of contribution should be considered in each field of expertise shown below.
