Edmond S. Gillespie Fellow
In 2007, AMTA created the Edmond S. Gillespie Fellow membership grade to recognize those members for their outstanding and pioneering contributions to the theory, practice and art of antenna and RF measurements. Membership in the Fellows is to honor the memory of Dr. Edmond S. “Stan” Gillespie who made many contributions to the antenna community as a professor at California State University Northridge and his activities in both the AMTA and the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society.
The criteria for being named a Fellow are through contributions to AMTA in two of the following three areas:
-
Significant technical contributions through publications
-
Excellence in education in the field of antenna measurements,
-
Dedication through active AMTA service.
In addition, Fellow members are required to have held active membership in AMTA for 3 of the proceeding 10 years.
Nominations for AMTA Fellows can be made by any active AMTA member. Nominations will be evaluated by the AMTA Awards Committee. Following approval by the AMTA Awards Committee, the nominations will be submitted to the AMTA Board of Directors for final approval. Nominations should have an extensive justification, including three letters of recommendation from current AMTA Fellows. CLICK HERE to download Fellowship criteria and nomination form (Word Document). Completed nomination forms can be emailed to Past-President@amta.org.

Fellow Emeritus
Starting in 2011, a new membership category called Fellow Emeritus was created for AMTA Fellows who are inactive for five or more years. Those with Fellow Emeritus status will remain AMTA members and have their annual membership dues waived. Current Fellow members who no longer anticipate attending the annual symposium may request to be promoted to Fellow Emeritus. Please send requests to Past-President@amta.org.

Senior Member
Starting in 2007, AMTA established the category of Senior Member to recognize members who have actively factored in the success of the Antenna Measurement Techniques Association with outstanding and lengthy contributions. These contributions can be in either the form of technical publications in the field of antenna measurements, or service on the AMTA Board of Directors or volunteer committees within AMTA. In order to be eligible for Senior Membership, a member must have been active in the field for at least a period of 10 years; however, continuous AMTA membership throughout a 10-year period is not a requirement. Nominations for Senior member status can be made to the AMTA awards committee by any current AMTA member. Nominations will be evaluated by the committee and if approved, will be submitted to the AMTA Board of Directors for approval. CLICK HERE to download Senior Member criteria and nomination form (Word Document). Completed nomination forms can be emailed to Past-President@amta.org.

Starting in 2012, Senior members who are inactive for three or more years will lose their Senior membership status and must reapply after becoming active again. Members can maintain their active status by attending the annual symposium, or by authoring or co-authoring a paper that is presented at the annual symposium.
