The CESS Executive Board occasionally nominates and votes to admit an Honorary Member, chosen for her or his contribution to the field of Central Eurasian studies. Typically, Honorary Members are retired from their professional service at the time they are nominated for this status. They receive the same benefits as individual members, but at no charge.
