Life Members
Life membership at the Sturt Lacrosse Club is a significant honor that reflects an individual's outstanding contributions and commitment to the club. The rigorous criteria for achieving life membership make it a prestigious recognition, reserved for those who have gone above and beyond in their dedication, service, and impact. This exclusivity not only highlights the value placed on exemplary involvement but also serves as a testament to the individual's enduring legacy within the Sturt Lacrosse Club community. Earning life membership signifies that one has made a lasting difference and inspires others to strive for excellence in their own contributions. It’s a recognition that encapsulates years of hard work, passion, and loyalty, making it a truly special accolade.
Life Members - A nomination for life membership may be made by any financial ordinary member and must be made to the Committee in writing and include reasons for the nomination. On receipt of a nomination the Management Committee must convene a Special Committee consisting of the President, who shall be Chairperson of the Special Committee, and two [2] or more Life Members. The Special Committee must assess the nomination to ensure it meets the standards as set out in the “Guidelines for Life Membership” below. The Special Committee will give consideration to length and continuity of service, responsibility, commitment and contribution to the Sturt Lacrosse Club. The Special Committee may inform itself in any way it sees fit. If approved by the Special Committee, the nomination must be proposed and seconded at a General Meeting of the Sturt Lacrosse Club and will be elected on a simple majority of those attending said meeting voting in favour of the nomination and shall thereupon be entitled to Club membership in perpetuity without payment of the annual subscription fee.
“Guidelines for Life Membership”:
-
The nominee must have had a playing career of at least 20 years with Sturt Lacrosse Club.
-
The nominee must have made an off field contribution over 15 years during and/or after the playing career or 10 years if the contribution is active junior coaching.
-
If the nominee is a non-player, an outstanding commitment over 20 years to the Sturt Lacrosse Club as a volunteer in any capacity.
