Organizations having a scholarly interest in the Middle East and whose membership includes a substantial number of members of MESA may apply for affiliation with MESA. The thirty-six organizations listed at right are affiliated with MESA. To apply for affiliated status, an organization should submit to the Secretariat a letter of interest, a copy of its bylaws, a membership list, a list of officers, and any other relevant supporting materials (i.e., brochures, sample publications, etc.). Applications are reviewed by MESA’s Board of Directors which meets twice a year, in the spring and in the fall at the association’s annual meeting. Affiliated organizations may sponsor up to three panels at the MESA annual meeting. Affiliate sponsorship does not guarantee acceptance: all panels are read “blind” by the program committee without regard to the proposer’s identity or the nature of sponsorship. Affiliated organizations may hold their annual business meeting, board meeting, or other functions in conjunction with the MESA annual meeting. MESA charges $150 to organizations meeting in conjunction to help offset associated costs. For organizations who are not yet affiliated with MESA, but who are seeking such status, the fee is waived the first year.
