HONORARY MEMBERSHIP in Credit Professionals International may be awarded on four levels: local,
state (if applicable), district and international. To qualify for international honorary membership, it is
necessary that the candidate must have served in an outstanding capacity on the international level.
This does not mean that merely holding an international office, even that of President, entitles one to
international honorary membership. This would depend on what had been accomplished for the
international organization during and after term as officer or committee chairman. Naturally
participation in local association (where applicable) and district would have some bearing on
contributions to international, as the candidate would not have reached the higher level without first
having served the local association, state (where applicable) and district. Each candidate must be
considered on his/her own merits. The Advisory Committee will screen all nominations and will
forward to the Executive Committee for final selection. A plaque will be presented to the recipient.
The plaque should be ordered by the President.
