Appendix 8 – Recognising individuals of distinction
The museum’s honours system recognises individuals who have made a significant contribution to the museum and to Australian maritime heritage and culture generally. The five levels of recognition are:
Honorary Fellowship – the highest honour conferred by the Council awarded to people who have made an exceptional contribution to the museum and whose status and ongoing association will serve to promote the museum and its activities
Ambassador – awarded by Council to people who have donated $100,000 or more to the Australian National Maritime Museum Foundation. Ambassadors are also members of the Foundation.
Honorary Life Membership – awarded by Council to people who have made a significant and enduring contribution to the museum
Honorary Research Associate – awarded by the Director in recognition of their distinguished service to former museum staff who wish to continue to contribute through research or other activities
Members of the ANMM Foundation – invited by Council to attend Foundation meetings and help meet its objectives.
This year four new Honorary Life Members were appointed by the Council – David Blackley, Christopher Harry, Ron Miller and Hon Margaret White AO.
