Honorary Life Memberships
Honorary life memberships are conferred based on the following procedure: The Board of Directors shall delegate to a Selection Committee the responsibility for recommending honorary life membership nominees for final approval by the Board. Any member of ERTA may submit to the president, in writing by hard copy or electronically, a nomination for honorary life membership provided such nomination is submitted by May 15. To qualify for consideration for the award of honorary life membership, a candidate must be a current member of ERTA, must have been a member of the Association for at least five (5) years and must have made a significant contribution to the Association. Although an honorary membership need not be awarded each year, the designation is limited to not more than two (2) in any given year. Such awards, if any, shall be made at the September luncheon.
Life Members
On the occasion of an ERTA member’s ninetieth birthday, it is customary to invite that member and a companion to be guests of the branch at the luncheon closest to that special birthday. A life membership certificate is presented to the guest of honour as a way of recognizing this event.
