Life Members
Criteria
Life Membership recognises the outstanding contribution recipients have made to UQAFC.
In 2022, the Committee established a formal criteria for Life Membership. A person becomes eligible for Life Membership if they have either played 150 games, contributed 10 years of service to the club, or a pro rata combination of the both.
Nominations for Life Membership remain open year-round, with Life Membership nominations voted on by the Committee in the next Committee Meeting following receipt of the Life Membership nominations.
Please submit all Life Membership nominations to UQAFC@outlook.com detailing the nominees’ footy resume - the more detail the better!
Life Memberships are typically awarded at the end of season presentation night or following Saturday fixtures in footy season.
The Committee retains their discretion to award Life Memberships as they see fit upon consideration of the circumstances.
