Procedures

BCTF By-law 1.5 provides for the category of honorary life membership as follows:

“An Annual General Meeting may confer on any member honorary life membership in the Federation. Honorary life members shall, while holding positions as teachers in the public schools of British Columbia, be accorded equivalent status, without payment of fees, to active membership.”

Procedure 20.E.04 states:

“Active and retired members who have given outstanding service to education at a provincial level may be nominated for honorary life membership.”

The Members’ Guide to the BCTF further explains honorary life memberships as granted to those who have given long and outstanding service to the Federation and education in general. Honorary life membership is granted only to those who have made a contribution recognized provincially.

If any local or member wishes to make a nomination for consideration by the 2025 AGM, please forward such nomination by mail or email to the attention of Amber Mitchell, Executive Director by February 7, 2025.

Any nominations so received will be put before the Executive Committee. The Executive Committee must make a recommendation to the AGM. A brief description of the nominee’s contributions to the Federation and education at the provincial level should accompany the nomination.

Deadline: February 7, 2025

Complete the nomination form and send it by email to the attention of Amber Mitchell, Executive Director, amitchell@bctf.ca.
