Life Members
Life Memberships are awarded for long, well documented and meritorious service. Our Life Members have, during their time of association with Hospice Waikato, made a significant and positive contribution to our organisation.
Life membership nominations are called for annually in June with a nomination closing date of 31 July and the process will be advertised with the wider Hospice Waikato community via the website, newsletter and social media.
If you would like to nominate someone for a Life membership, you are welcome to send the nomination to Hospice Waikato at any time and we will hold the information on file until the next nomination period. Please scroll to the bottom of this page to find the Nomination Form and the Life Membership Criteria.
We are delighted to include photos of our Life Members below. This is just one way we can acknowledge them for the wonderful support they have given to our organisation over many, many years.
