There shall be no more than 25% Life Members as a percentage of total members. Should the percentage exceed 25% for any reason, approvals of new applications for Life Membership will be suspended until the total is below 25%.
Take care...

I went through the membership roster. If my figures are correct we have 1,358 current members. Out of that figure we have 322 members that are either DHE or A-1 life or Honorary. That's 23.8%. 338 would be 25% of the membership. There is room for more Life Members. That said, having a discussion regarding this with one of our esteemed BOD members, Life Membership was designed to be an avenue to service in the organization. That's why it is a requirement to be a LM to serve on the BOD and to be a voting member. How's that?
