Membership Responsibilities

The BARI Executive Committee performs a membership review every 2 years, at which time inactive members will be retired from the program. Retired members may be invited to re-apply for membership as their schedule and interest allows. To maintain the privileges of membership for the next year, at minimum, each member must fill out, before a single set deadline, an annual survey of information. This is intended to limit the number of these request per year and provide a consistently updated set of data for all BARI functions.

• Regularly participate in BARI events (monthly meeting, social hour, faculty retreat, symposium, etc.)
• Members in good-standing (active participation) must complete a yearly survey to collect information useful in enhancing our institute
