REVIEW OF APPLICABLE RULES

PAROP ARTICLE II - Membership

C. Chapter Honor Members

1. Reference Bylaws Article I, Section 4 2. Reference PAROP Article VII, Section C

PAROP ARTICLE VI – Chapter Affairs

C. Elevation or Election of Chapter Honor Member (CHM)

1. It is beneficial for the chapter to honor notable contributors to the field of Civil Engineering from education, private practice, public practice, etc. In turn, their election adds prestige to the chapter. Chapter Honor Members should be considered at every election. With the exception of rare instances, no more than one CHM should be initiated or elevated at any one time. However, CHM’s may be initiated or elevated at times other than regular initiations. More than one may be initiated or elevated in one year.

2. A nominee shall be considered for Chapter Honor Membership by the recommendation of the chapter, with a letter stating that the chapter had a two-thirds vote of a quorum or better to nominate the candidate. For each nominee, a narrative biographical sketch (not a resume) must be prepared for publication in “The Transit”. A digital photo should also be included if it is available without alerting the prospective CHM. These items shall be sent to the District Councillor for approval or disapproval. The District Councillor will forward these materials to the Executive Secretary for approval or disapproval. If both approve the recommendation, the nominee may be elected CHM. If one disapproves, the recommendation will go before the National Council for final decision. The biographical sketch shall not be published until the candidate’s initiation has been confirmed. (1972) Once the candidate’s initiation has been confirmed, the chapter is responsible for sending the National Office a high resolution digital photograph (head and shoulders) if one has not been previously submitted. Editorial Comment

3. The chapter must receive National Office approval of the nominee before the individual is notified of possible candidacy for Chapter Honor Membership. (1972)

4. Payment of the initiation fee by the chapter for CHM’s is to be encouraged. It adds immeasurably to the honor bestowed and indirectly encourages the chapter to be selective.

5. It is recommended that the chapter exercise careful consideration in selecting CHM’s. Candidate qualifications should fully reflect the high honor bestowed.

6. It is further recommended that each chapter carefully review and consider qualifications of persons suggested to be so honored, and that a permanent file be established for future reference. Additions, to such a file of names, may be supplied by the Faculty Advisor, Civil Engineering Department members, Chapter Trustees, The District Councillor, or by the Vice-President of Chi Epsilon. (1970)

7. A chapter may elect a Chapter Honor Member who is a graduate of another school also having a chapter of Chi Epsilon. However, it is recommended that the chapter write a letter to the Chi Epsilon chapter at the school from which the candidate is a graduate. This letter should contain the candidate’s qualifications; the reasons why the chapter wishes to make him or her a Chapter Honor Member, and request any information that may be of some importance in the consideration of the candidate in question.

If the Chi Epsilon chapter at the school from which the candidate is an alumnus is also considering him or her for Chapter Honor Member, the candidate’s Alma Mater should have precedence.

9. The phrasing “Outstanding professional accomplishment in the field of civil engineering,” (Article III, Section 4 of the Constitution) shall be interpreted to mean “Outstanding professional services or creative work requiring civil engineering education, training and experience, and the application of special knowledge of mathematical, physical, and engineering sciences to the professional services or creative work such as investigations, consultation, evaluation, planning, design, construction, or operation for the purposes of assuring compliance with plans, specifications, and designs in connection with projects of a civil engineering nature.” Further requirements shall be per Article I, Section 4, of the Bylaws. (1980)
