Honorary Members
As a number of valuable ILMA member company employees have retired or left the industry in the past few years, ILMA would like to continue its relationship with them. The Board of Directors established an “Honorary Member” category so that these members can continue to stay in touch with the Association and be up-to-date with ILMA and industry news.
