Honorary Membership Award

Through application by a Local to the National Executive Committee on Honours and Awards in care of the National President, and with the approval of the National Executive, a member who has retired on superannuation or who has left the service may be granted honorary membership for outstanding service to the Union and/or the Public Service Alliance of Canada. Honorary members shall not be required to pay dues and shall not be entitled to voice or vote at meetings or to hold office in the Union or Local, but shall be entitled to all other rights and privileges of membership in this Union.

The Union may, by decision of the National Executive, or by decision of a Triennial National Convention, or by Local proposal concurred in by the National Executive, elect to honorary membership in the Union anyone who is deemed to merit such honour and is not eligible for regular membership.

Honorary memberships may be granted to retired members who have served a minimum of 10 years as an elected officer.

All nominations shall be submitted on the prescribed form to the National Executive Standing Committee on Honours and Awards, in care of the National President. Applications submitted by a Local shall be reviewed and commented on by the appropriate Vice-President before it is forwarded to the Honours and Awards Committee.

All applications for Honorary memberships in the Union shall be reviewed by the Standing Committee on Honours and Awards who will make appropriate recommendations to the National Executive.
