that includes a bibliography and review of academic activities. The two
letters of recommendation are required and may be submitted by active or

nomination of new members. Applicants who have been considered for
membership previously, but not accepted, and who are reapplying must
submit a new application for consideration. All documents must be
submitted in triplicate.
Nomination forms are available from the President and
Secretary-Treasurer of the Midwest SPR or may be downloaded below.
All nominations are considered and acted upon by the Officers and
Council of the Midwest SPR at the Annual Meeting.

Annual
dues are $75.00.
Individuals who are three or more years delinquent are removed
