During the event, Anna-Leena Brax, Riitta Wirpi and Lennu Yläneva were awarded honorary memberships. They have long held various positions in Tehy and have been active in promoting the interests of Tehy members.
Local branches took the initiative and proposed honorary members to the Council. The grounds for the initiatives describe the award-winning members' praiseworthy and long-term activities as council members, local branch members, union representatives or as Tehy vice-president, to name a few. In addition to this, the honorary members have been important supporters of other Tehy members in workplaces during various challenging times and situations.
The new honorary members were nominated by:
- The Kallio local branch (724) of Tehy nominated Tehy’s first vice-chairperson, public health nurse and nurse Anna-Leena Brax for honorary membership of Tehy.
- The Imatra region local branch (453) of Tehy nominated childcarer Riitta Wirpi for honorary membership of Tehy.
- The Tehy Varha local branch (227) nominated physiotherapist Lennu Yläneva for honorary membership of Tehy.
Our warmest congratulations to the honorary members and thank you for your work for Tehy and its members!
