Article V: Membership

Section 3: Categories

E. Life members

Life members are active members who have rendered extraordinary service to the MSRT. Life members are selected by unanimous recommendation of the Board of Directors and approved by a majority of the voting membership at the Annual Meeting. They shall have all the rights, privileges and obligations of active members while eligible, once Retired member status is reached they will continue to hold Life Membership. Membership dues are waived. 

Rationale: Insert proposed text to ensure life members are recognized beyond retirement as a valuable asset to the MSRT.

Here are the 2 categories referenced:
