AIPS membership, both individual and institutional, is on a fiscal-year basis, October 1 through September 30. AIPS welcomes applications for institutional membership from "generally recognized" academic and educational institutions in the United States. Such institutions are required to pay annual dues to the AIPS as determined by the Board of Trustees. Representatives of these institutions serve on the Board of Trustees and have full voting rights. Application for Institutional Membership should be made to the President, AIPS, and must be approved by the Executive Committee, AIPS.
A proposal for affiliation should be submitted by a permanent faculty member who is involved in Pakistan studies. As soon as AIPS receives this application, it will be forwarded to the Executive committee members for discussion. The Executive committee will vote on this via email or at the next executive committee meeting.
