The Award of Life Membership of MFRC
Life Members meet once a year to consider nominations for Life Membership. The meeting takes place two months prior to the annual MFRC Awards Night in order that the committee can be informed of the outcome and the awards prepared. Nominations for Life Membership are made by a proposer and seconder stating the merits of their nominee and circulated to all Life Members prior to the meeting.
A majority vote amongst Life Members present at the meeting will be required for the nomination to succeed. Life Members can decided that there are no suitable candidates to be considered at their meeting. Life Members can consider any changes to be made to the criteria at the annual meeting.
