Not sure if anyone can answer this, but would she have even been eligible for induction at this convention? According to the AKA website, there are already several women who have accepted honorary membership and are about to be inducted. This news about Michelle being asked is fairly recent, so it seems like she would inducted in 2010 or later.

They don't have to be inducted at conventions.

Ok. For some reason, I thought I had read/heard that honorary members could only be brought in at conventions.

Might be for another org. (That actually sounds familiar, now that you mention it.) Honorary membership is one of those things for which each NPHC has a different approach.
