The nomination of persons for appointment as Honorary Life Members will be made by the President, Life President or Deputy Life President. Such nominees must be approved by a majority of the Board and the President and one of either the Life or Deputy Life President to receive the Award.

The Board recently approved the nominations of Alan Strong and Tony Martin as Honorary Life Members and their profiles are attached to this document.
