To finalise this process, a Special Resolution will be raised at the Annual General Meeting to amend the Constitution (as underlined below) are as follows:
Amendments to the Constitution that are to be addressed:
Changes in red text below:
4 (a) Ordinary Members
An ordinary member is a financial member of the Association (whether a registered player, coach and manager or not). Ordinary membership will attach to the actual member and does not include any other family members of the ordinary member. Ordinary members are eligible to vote at all annual general meetings and general meetings. All players over the age of 18 years at the time of registration must be a financial ordinary member and are not covered under any family membership scheme.
4 (c) Life Members
The Association:
i. may elect honorary life members; and
ii. recognises any persons who were previously awarded as Life Members under the Constitutions of either Loganholme FC Inc or Beenleigh Football Club, as Life Members of Logan Lightning FC as defined in this clause 5 (c).
Life membership may only be awarded to financial members (ordinary or family members) for outstanding and very special services rendered to the Association who have served at least ten (10) fifteen (15) years membership (including previous years of membership at either Loganholme FC Inc or Beenleigh Football Club) and provided that member has served at least years (5) years actively engaged in some type of role with the Association Management Committee. The criteria for nomination of a life member must include some extraordinary contribution or service rendered for the benefit of all members of the Association and must far outweigh what would normally be expected of Association members.
5.(2) Life Membership - a member may be granted life membership in accordance with section 4(1)(c) of the constitution upon a two-thirds majority vote of the Management Committee and ratified by at least two serving Life Members (if possible) supporting the said nomination. A minimum of four weeks notice is to be provided to club members calling for nominations of possible life members. Nominations and qualifications are to be submitted to the Secretary by the nominated closing date. Only a maximum of 2 members will be inducted each year.
