The Honorary Life membership is considered one of the highest honors that the Association can offer. This is a special tribute to members who have been especially active in the field of parks, recreation, conservation or leisure services, and to the New Jersey Recreation and Park Association. Nomination applicants will be accepted after one year of retirement, or earlier under extenuating circumstances. The nomination shall be reviewed by the Awards Committee and approved by the Board of Trustees.
