There are also CIT sections in Ulster, Eire, Ghana, Malawi, Malaya, Nigeria and five Australian centres at New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, Victoria and Western Australia. In addition there are sections in New Zealand and South Africa.
The ITA has sections in Borneo, Canada, Ceylon, Germany, West Indies, Israel, Kenya, Rhodesia and presumably these will now become CIT sections.
For the first four years of the enlarged body the CIT will elect four additional ordinary members of the ITA council who were serving at the time of the integration. At the same time these four members and four members of the CIT will form a national steering committee, and local steering committees composed of four members from the local sections of each of the bodies will work together to ensure smooth integration.
Members of the ITA are to be asked to accept election to the nearest equivalent grade of membership of the CIT. ITA associate members who have passed the ITA examination for that grade will be offered membership of CIT, and all ITA associate members over 35 years of age who hold positions of managerial responsibility will be asked to make formal application for membership of CIT.
Other ITA associate members will be offered associateship until they qualify for full membership through sitting the final part of the CIT membership examination. It is proposed that they should be exempted from the intermediate stage.
ITA graduates in the higher grade are to be offered studentship with exemption from the intermediate examination but if they are over 30 years of age and provided they have held a position of responsibility for five years they may apply for associateship. Graduates in the lower grade will be offered studentship.
The proposals have been widely discussed at agms of the ITA at divisional level and indications are that they will be accepted in toto at the Birmingham meeting.
