Endowment members are persons who have paid a subscription to provide for “remainder of life” membership of NZDA. This subscription is set by the National Executive and is invested to cover the cost of the membership. Endowment members automatically become members of the Headquarters branch but, if resident in New Zealand, may elect to become members of their local branch. In all respects, Endowment members have the same privileges as Senior members.
