By-Laws Officers Active Fellows Corresponding Fellows Election Procedure Emeriti/ae Fellows

The following By-Law provisions concern the Fellows

2. The Academy shall consist of Active Fellows, Corresponding Fellows, Emeriti/ae Fellows, Life Members, Contributing Members, Active Members, Emeriti/ae Members, and non-voting Institutional Members.

9. . . . The President of the Fellows . . . shall sit with the Council without vote.

MEMBERSHIP

(a) Active Fellows

14. Active Fellows shall be scholars who have made notable contributions to the furthering of the stated purposes of the Academy, and who at the time of election are members of the Academy and residents of North America. The number of Active Fellows shall not exceed 125. Vacancies in the ranks of the Active Fellows shall be filled by election by the Active Fellows from nominations made by any three members of the Academy or by a nominating committee, the members of which shall be appointed jointly by the President of the Academy and the President of the Fellows, after consultation with the Executive Committee of the Council. The assent of the Active Fellows shall be necessary for election. The Active Fellows shall hold an annual meeting at which they shall elect, by vote of a majority of those present, such officers as they deem necessary for the conduct of their business. They shall also determine the procedures governing the election of new Active Fellows and Corresponding Fellows, subject to the general provisions of articles 14 and 15.

OFFICERS OF THE FELLOWS

The officers of the Fellows are the President, the Orator, and the Scribe (the Orator and the Scribe were added in 1936). They serve concurrent three-year terms.

The President presides during the private meeting of the Fellows, which is held in conjunction with the Medieval Academy’s annual meeting, and during the public plenary session sponsored by the Fellows at the Academy’s annual meeting. During the public plenary session, newly elected Fellows are inducted; the induction includes citations composed and read by the Orator, and the signing of the book of the Fellows, which is overseen by the Scribe.

The officers are elected at the private meeting of the Fellows upon nomination by a three-person ad-hoc Nominating Committee, whose members are appointed by the incumbent President. It is customary for the Nominating Committee to present one candidate for each office.

Current Officers (2008–2011)
Joan Ferrante, President
John V. Fleming Orator
Pamela Sheingorn, Scribe
