life member
Forever on roster
A life member holds permanent membership in an organization, typically granted in recognition of long service, distinguished contribution, or a one-time fee payment.
Unlike regular members who renew annually, life members retain their status indefinitely: She was made a life member of the club after thirty years of volunteer work.
