Which statement about Honorary Life members is correct?

• A. They must pay annual dues.
• B. They may vote and hold national office.
• C. They are elected by majority vote and shall not vote or hold office and shall not pay dues.
• D. They are limited to local chapters

Answer: (C)

Honorary Life Members are recognized for long service and are treated as non-voting, non-officer members who don't pay dues. The designation is conferred by a majority vote, but once named, they do not have voting rights or the ability to hold national office, and they aren’t obligated to pay dues. This preserves the honorary nature of the status while keeping the governance and financial duties limited to active members. Also, this status isn’t limited to local chapters; it’s a recognition that typically applies at the broader organization level.
