Richmond members have voted to limit the terms of directors at Wednesday night's Annual General Meeting.
Members voted to support a constitutional amendment that would limit directors to three, three-year elected terms.
The members also voted to maintain their right to call an extraordinary general meeting with only 100 signatures, rejecting a proposed change to increase that number to five per cent of voting members, which would have brought the Club into line with the current corporations act.
Incumbent board members Kerry Ryan and Emmett Dunne had their re-election confirmed after 4686 members exercised their right to vote.
Club champion Dustin Martin and star defender Alex Rance were honoured with life membership, as was 1985 best and fairest winner Trevor Poole.
Long-time Tiger Ken Grenda was also officially inducted as a Club patron while captain Trent Cotchin was also acknowledged by the members for his retrospective 2012 Brownlow Medal, awarded on Tuesday.
