Membership of this society is limited to physicians of good professional standing, who have a major interest and active practice in peripheral vascular surgery, and who are certified by the American Board of Surgery.   In select cases, equivalent training may be substituted for formal certification.

Physicians fulfilling constitutional membership requirements who reside in the State of Michigan may be eligible for active membership.

There are three types of members: Active, Senior, and Honorary.

Active members consist of original charter members and all members subsequently elected until they become eligible for senior membership.   The number of active members is not limited.

Senior members consist of active members who have reached the age of 65 years.   Senior members have all of the responsibilities and privileges of active members, excepting annual dues.

Honorary members consist of individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the discipline of peripheral vascular surgery.   They have no voting privileges, are not eligible for election as officers, and are not subject to assessment for dues.   Candidates for honorary membership are proposed in writing to the Council through the Secretary.   Candidates approved by the Council are elected honorary members in accord with the same procedure regarding active membership.

In unique circumstances, non-physician scientists may be eligible for active membership.

Members in good standing who subsequently take up practice in geographic areas other than the aforementioned state will continue to be regarded as members of the Society, providing that they pay dues on an annual basis.

Application forms for active membership are available only by request of a member and are provided by the Secretary.   Completed application forms signed by the candidate, and two endorsers are delivered to the Secretary at least one month before the Annual Business Meeting at which time the candidate are considered for election.   Completed applications are reviewed by the Council, who has the right to accept or reject any application for membership in the Society.   Names of candidates recommended for election by the Council are submitted to the membership at the September meeting.   Election is by voice vote and if not unanimous then by three-fourths affirmative ballot vote of the members present.   A candidate who fails to be elected at one meeting may be reconsidered at the new two September meetings of the Society.   If election fails a third time, the candidate's application may be resubmitted after a two-year interval.
