The Process
The Accreditation Subcommittee, which makes recommendations to the Executive Committee, are 2 Accredited ASE members for every 1 Non-accredited ASE full member (as defined in the ASE Articles of Association).
A majority vote is needed by the Accreditation Subcommittee. If there is a deadlock then the head juror has casting vote.
In the event that a bid for Accreditation is unsuccessful, the Member may reapply in any subsequent years.
The Executive Committee’s decision is final. No discussion or correspondence will be entered into.

Accredited Members will be presented with a certificate bearing their name

The certificate shall always remain the property of the Guild.
