Each year, we request nominations to Lambda Alpha International by having members propose candidates to the Membership Committee. The Board reviews the applications for nominees proposed by the Membership Committee and approves the candidates, assuming they meet all qualifications.
New member nominations occur on a semi-annual basis, so that qualified members are not delayed in participating in Lambda Alpha International functions. Once approved, an Initiation Ceremony is held at a luncheon or dinner to initiate the new members and meet other members of the Minnesota Chapter.
