As usual, the Biennial Conference provided an opportunity to recognise the extraordinary careers of some of the Union’s most dedicated activists through the presentation of Life Membership.  

The award, the highest that the Union can bestow, was presented to 15 QTU stalwarts, all of whom have now retired or resigned from the profession after giving long and outstanding service to the Union and its members.  

Bob Baldwin and Barry Welch were unable to attend the ceremony. They will receive their awards at a later date.

A further two awards recognising outstanding service to the Union were presented posthumously, to Patrick Born and Neil Weaver.
