An Honorary Staff member, or Hon. Staff, refers to someone given a special role within an organization, event, or institution. This designation, often used historically for identification, recognition, or affiliation, was common at conventions, political events, parades, community gatherings, and fairs. It marked volunteers, aides, or individuals with honorary duties who were not part of the regular paid team, helping organizers quickly identify their helpers.
