Honorary Membership Selection procedures and criteria

Nomination

The British Society Board will invite nominations annually.

The closing date for nominations is the 31st of March of each year.

Nominations are submitted to the Board via a specific form provided by The British Society.

Status Members of the Society may propose individuals for Honorary Membership, providing all possible information and arguments to support their proposal.

Proposers must not tell the individual nominated that his/her name has been put forward, in order to avoid embarrassment if the nominee is not accepted.

Each nomination must include:

1. Name and contact information of the Nominee;
2. As much specific and detailed information on the Nominee as possible;
3. Name and contact information of the Nominator.

Nominations will be analyzed and evaluated by the Board and a decision reached prior to every Annual General Meeting.

No more than 3 Honorary Memberships can be awarded each year.

1. Be Status Members of The British Society in Uruguay.
2. Have made outstanding contributions to British community life over a significant period of time.
