Honorary Membership

The Rotary Club of Beaumaris may grant honorary membership to ex members or other members of the community in cases where the individual has given exemplary service to the club or to the Beaumaris community.

Nominations for honorary membership may be submitted to the Secretary at any time with the justification for the honour. All nominations will be considered by the club board, who in principle will only grant honorary membership to an individual who has demonstrated a high degree of commitment to the principles of Rotary and outstanding service to the Rotary Club or the Beaumaris community.

Membership will be granted for periods of one Rotary year, i.e. from 1 July to 30 June. All current honorary memberships will be reviewed by the Board based on a report & recommendation by the Membership Director in July each year and where appropriate membership will be renewed for a further twelve months

Honorary members will receive electronic copies of the weekly In Gear newsletter. There is no membership fee and no voting rights. Honorary members cannot be nominated for the club board. They may attend club meetings and events, subject to the normal advance notice for catering purposes and will pay the member cost of such meetings and events.

This policy was approved by the club board on 13 October 2008.
