ARTICLE 33: HONORARY DISTINCTIONS

a) Honorary Distinctions of Skal International:
i. The procedures for nominating candidates for the distinctions of
Honorary President or Membre d'Honneur of Skal International are to
be found in the Bylaws of Skal International.
ii. Nominations by Clubs of candidates for these titles must be
approved by two thirds of the voting members present at a Club
Annual General Meeting, on a single vote.
b) Club Honorary Distinctions
i. The distinctions of Honorary President or Honorary Member followed
by the name of the Club may be given to former Club Presidents or
to Active or Life members of the Club who have given distinguished
service to the Skal Movement. Such Club distinctions only give
special privileges within the Club. The person being honoured shall
not receive any special badge or insignia, but may be given a
diploma confirming the bestowal of the distinction.
ii. Such distinctions shall not be reported to Skal International and the
members receiving them shall remain in the relevant category of
Active or Life member.
iii. The granting of Club distinctions may be proposed either by the
Board of the Club or by seven Active and/or Life members. The
presentation of these proposals shall be included in the Agenda and
its approval requires a two-thirds majority of the voting members
present at an Annual General Meeting of the Club.

iv. The Clubs shall not use the title Membre d'Honneur as this title is
reserved solely for use by Skal International.
v. Life membership shall not be used as a distinction, as "Life" is a Skal
International membership category and not a distinction.
