Proposer
The LMS requires candidates for Ordinary, Associate and Associate (undergraduate) Membership to be proposed and seconded by members of the Society.

Ideally your nominated proposer should be your head of department or LMS representative (if you are attached to a UK university, you can find your LMS Representative here), or another LMS member who knows you personally.

An applicant whose Head of Department or LMS Rep is not a LMS member or who otherwise has difficulty in finding a proposer should enter "LMS Officer" and a brief note under "How long has she/he known you?" to confirm that they are happy for their application to be reviewed by an LMS Officer. Your application form will then be forwarded to an LMS Officer for review.

If you have any queries, please contact the membership department (membership@lms.ac.uk)
