Under the Articles of Association of the NAFD, Honorary Membership may be bestowed upon an individual and approval by members at General Meeting.
Honorary membership of the NAFD is designed to recognise an individual’s sustained and outstanding voluntary contribution to the Association.
Honorary members are presented with a certificate of Honorary Membership and an Honorary Member medal and ribbon. The names of all Honorary Members are displayed on a board at the NAFD’s National Office in Solihull.
In addition, Honorary members are invited each year to attend the annual Past President & Honorary Member dinner, as well as General Meetings of the Association in a non-voting capacity. They can also attend NAFD educational sessions at no charge and enjoy a discount on attendance at other Association events such as the Awards Ceremony; Summer School and conference social events, including banquet.
Nominate someone for Honorary Membership of the NAFD
Nominations will be invited, on a biannual basis, in February and July, by the Nominations and Governance Committee.
Nominations can be made from any two members of the Association, one acting as proposer and one as seconder. They must be from two different member firm businesses.
Using a form that has been created to support this process, the proposer will need to outline their reasons for nominating the person for Honorary Membership, detailing how their work or service in areas such as standards, education, membership, influencing or communication, over a period of nine years or more, has been of great value to the NAFD at a national level.
Nominations are now open for Honorary Membership. If you wish to nominate a member, please contact Membership Officer Su Lewis ([email protected]) who will provide you with a nomination form.
The deadline for nominations is 31 March 2022.
