Interested parties should apply between Oct I s1- March 31st in any given year. A letter expressing interest and outlining how this Memoriam will benefit their professional development needs to be submitted to the Chapter President. The Chapter Executive shall review all submissions and select the candidate, who will be announced at the Annual General Meeting.
