Upon becoming 65 years old, this member may be classified as a member emeritus upon application to the AGD's Membership Council, verified with the AGD’s records, followed by subsequent notification of the applicant's AGD constituent.

AGD membership is based on a calendar year. The dues renewal cycle begins in October with an e-invoice to members who provide the AGD with their email address.
