Honorary Membership is for individuals who are no longer represented by institutional membership of the Association and are unlikely to be in the future, and therefore cannot be considered for HELOA membership, but have previously served to support the Association in achieving its aims and objectives.
Nominations for Honorary Membership are received in advance of the Annual General Meeting (AGM) which normally takes place early in the calendar year. At the AGM, the nominations are considered by the membership.
Individuals who are nominated for Honorary Membership by a current HELOA member, would normally fulfil one or more of the following:
- For long service having been a member of the Association for a considerable number of years and where their professional conduct has supported the aims of the Association;
- For exceptional contribution to the Association over a considerable number of years through their support either at group or national level, or both;
- For special circumstances.
If you wish to nominate a HELOA member for Honorary Membership, please complete the Honorary Membership Nomination Form and include the reason for your nomination (no longer than 300 words).
