Special population members have the same rights and privileges as active members, but have the approval of the Board of Directors to pay reduced membership fees (1/3 of active member dues) because of certain special circumstances. All spe-cial population members must provide evidence of their eligibility for membership under a spe-cific category. These categories include senior, retired, disabled and international.
- A senior member has reached the age of 60 and has 10 years or more of consecutive service to ACNN.
- A retired member was previously employed as a child neurology nurse, but is now of-ficially retired from employment.
- A disabled member was previously employed as a child neurology nurse, but now has a documented disability and is no longer employed or minimally employed.
- An international member resides outside the United States and Canada in a country with a low currency value compared to the US dollar and an income that makes the full active membership fee prohibitive.
Student members are nursing students who are currently en-rolled either full or part time in an approved nursing program. Member dues for student members will be 1/3 of general member dues. Student members shall have the same rights and privileges as associate members.
Tier I Annual Fee: $25
Lifetime members are those active members who have made significant contributions to the Corporation. This membership will be awarded at the dis-cretion of the Board. Lifetime members shall be exempt from dues and will have the same rights and privileges as active members.
Honorary membership may be awarded to nonmembers who have contributed to the field of pediatric neurology. Honorary members are recom-mended to or by the Board of Directors. A majority vote of approval by the membership must then occur. Honorary Members shall have the same rights and privileges as associ-ate members.
