According to the Rules of Association of U3A Port Phillip, one category of membership of the organisation is Honorary Life Membership. It is defined as follows:
A Member whose volunteer contribution to the Association, other than any financial contribution, has been both exceptional and sustained over not less than ten years, whether that contribution is by way of tutoring, administration or management, may, on the recommendation of the Committee, be awarded Honorary Life Membership by a majority resolution at a general meeting.
The Committee of Management has delegated the task of selecting potential candidates for the award of an Honorary Life Membership to the Awards Advisory Group. For more details of the Terms of Reference and the process for accepting and assessing nominations, click here.
If there is a member of U3APP whom you think meets the criteria above, you can nominate them for Honorary Life Membership.
Nominations should be emailed to the chairHLMsubcom@u3app.org.au by 31 August for assessment in that year.
