How to get Import-CSV to work with Add-Adgroupmember

hello,

my goal to populate active directory global security group members contained in csv file.

i execute following:

$members = import-csv c:\groupmembers.csv

$members | foreach-object {add-adgroupmember -identity 'ad_group' -members $_}

these errors get:

add-adgroupmember : cannot bind parameter 'members'. cannot convert "@{a0100041=a62008}" value of t
ype "system.management.automation.pscustomobject" type "microsoft.activedirectory.management.adprinc
ipal".
@ line:1 char:78
+ $members | foreach-object {add-adgroupmember -identity 'ad_group'  -members <<<<  $_}
    + categoryinfo          : invalidargument: (:) [add-adgroupmember], parameterbindingexception
    + fullyqualifiederrorid : cannotconvertargumentnomessage,microsoft.activedirectory.management.comm
   ands.addadgroupmember

is saying import-csv produces object of type foreach-object cmdlet cant handle?  in advance.
