Updating a 'Preferred Name'

Description

A 'Preferred Name' is a Member's preferred given name. This will default to their first name but can be changed if they prefer to be known by one of their other given names (e.g. Richard Michael Smith may prefer to be known as Michael instead of Richard).

Please Note: Preferred Name cannot be amended for Grand Officers.
