To be eligible, members must have made significant contributions in at least two of the Club’s core areas, such as lifesaving, education, competition, administration, juniors, fundraising, or officiating.
Nomination Process:
-
Nominated by two long-serving members and endorsed by two Life Members.
-
Reviewed by the Life Membership and Honours Panel (75% approval required).
-
Final approval via a 75% member vote at a General Meeting.
In exceptional cases, shorter service or Associate Members may also be considered.
