Full Members will have full voting rights and may nominate persons for election as members of the Board.
- Associate Members may be any organisation, association, group or other body, whether incorporated or not incorporated, that has engagement with Literature or Literary Activities but where these are not a primary function of the body; or any other organisation, association, group or other body, whether incorporated or not incorporated; in any case that the Board shall approve for Associate Membership from time to time at its absolute discretion.
