Our Legacy
Our Benefactor Members are individuals who are part of our membership and who have distinguished themselves through the merit of their actions. Our Honorary Members are individuals who are not part of our membership but who, by virtue of holding official positions, have earned this distinction, whether they are Portuguese or not. Both the Benefactor Members and the Honorary Members were nominated and approved for these distinctions at a General Assembly. These Benefactor Members and Honorary Members deserve all of our respect and gratitude.
