Life Membership is awarded in recognition of an outstanding contribution to the APSI organisation by an individual member. This honour is reserved for those whose contribution goes beyond the ordinary or even the excellent for an extended period.

LIFE MEMBERSHIP NOMINATIONS

It will no longer be a requirement for Nominees to have received a service award. However, Nominees must have been a valid APSI member for a minimum of 10 years to be eligible.

Nominations on the prescribed form must be submitted to the APSI office (nominations@apsi.net.au) not later than 5pm on the 14 May on any given year.

Nomination forms must include:

• A proposer and a seconder (both must be current members, and neither can be the nominee).
• The Nominee’s Contribution: Maximum 300 words outlining the “above and beyond” contribution from the nominee.
• Verification of Contribution: To verify the above contribution, the nomination form must be signed by any two of the following:
  • APSI Technical Director
  • APSI General Manager
  • APSI Board member
• Character Referee: While not a requirement, it will be looked upon favourably if the nomination form is accompanied by a signature from the Nominee’s ASAA Snowsports School Manager (if ever employed) acting as a referee attesting to the suitability of the Nominee’s character. If a board member is nominated, then the President can sign in place of SS Manager.
• Verification of more than 10 years of APSI membership: Once the nomination form is submitted to the APSI office, the form must be signed by the General Manager to verify 10 years of APSI membership.

• Successful nominees are awarded Life membership at the AGM
