Honorary Members are individuals close to Gymkana who are voted on by the troupe based on their support of the program. No honorary member was a trouper during their time, but they have each provided invaluable contributions to the well-being of the team. Some support is forward-facing, some is behind the scenes, and Gymkana is endlessly thankful for the assistance and encouragement it has received from these individuals over the years.
