Policy for the Selection of Active Lifetime Membership

In the Iowa Fire Chiefs Association

The Constitution and By-Laws of the Iowa Fire Chiefs Association states: “Active Life Members shall consist of those members who have been members of the Association for ten (10) continuous years immediately preceding their retirement, and further provided that they are not identified with fire protection from a commercial standpoint, with approval of the Board of Directors. Active Life Membership carries with it all of the privileges of Active Membership without the payment of dues.”

The procedure for the selection of Active Life Members shall henceforth be:

1. A list of members with over 10 years of active member participation shall be maintained by the Secretary/Treasurer and used for the selection criteria.
2. A record of attendance or participation in IFAC activities such as the Annual Fall Conference at a level of 70% shall be maintained.
3. Other levels of activity such as IFCA Officers or Board of Directors shall be considered.
4. A candidate for Active Life Membership shall be put before the Board of Directors for a vote of approval or denial.
5. A successful candidate shall receive an award and certificate at the next Annual Fall Conference Banquet.

Adopted by the IFCA Board of Directors this 29th day of October, 2018
