Either the Session Chair or Vice-Chair must be a member of AIChE.
Expenses or honoraria normally are not paid to anyone presenting a technical paper, participating in a panel discussion, or participating in a public forum such as a town meeting. However, expenses may be paid to a speaker by NED if he / she is neither a chemical engineer nor a member of AIChE nor an employee of a company in the chemical, nuclear, or allied industry. Such payment must be approved in advance in each case by the NED Chair.
It has been the practice, based on Article VIII, Section 4, of the Bylaws, for the Vice-Chair to be nominated to run unopposed for the office of Chair the next year.
Nominees are to be announced in the Summer. The annual election of officers is conducted in time for those elected to be announced at the Annual Meeting of AIChE.
All meetings of the NED are open to the general membership.
