Honorary Members
Just as our members are selected from those in the Concierge community who have demonstrated a prolonged commitment to their role in the hospitality industry, equally so are our Honorary Members drawn from those in the Hospitality and Tourism related fields who have shown an exceptional and prolonged degree of support for our members and the Les Clefs d'Or as a whole.
Each year when members gather for our national AGM, state delegates may nominate one or more Honorary Members, and while such nominations are relatively rare, this only serves as an indication of the high esteem in which successful nominees are held by members of Les Clefs d'Or both in their respective states and throughout Australia.
