An Honorary Director is a member who is recognized as a benefactor to the Society through outstanding services, such as serving as an officer or director. With no more than one being awarded per year, this award is the highest that the Society bestows. An Officer or Director shall make nominations for Honorary Director. An application, verbal or written, must be presented to the Board for consideration who may then elect the Honorary Director by a majority vote. This nonvoting position award is presented for the life of the individual. This is an advisory position where the Honorary Director is invited to all Board of Directors meetings (open or closed).
