Life membership is awarded to a person who has made an exceptional contribution to Friendly Street Poets, Inc. At the 2023 AGM, two such awards were made.
Nigel Ford was awarded Life Membership for his outstanding commitment to poetry generally, to promoting and supporting poets’ groups in the broader community, and to his unswerving support of Friendly Street Poets as a committee member, six years as Convenor and 10 years as Regional Representative.
Erica Jolly was awarded Life Membership for decades of teaching, mentoring and supporting poets within Friendly Street Poets and the wider community. The award also recognises Erica’s commitment to promoting FSP with dedication and commitment far beyond regular membership.
Congratulations to Nigel and Erica on your outstanding commitment and well-deserved recognition as Life Members of Friendly Street Poets, Inc.
