Cessation of Membership Rules

All members of the Association are encouraged to promote the purposes of the Association and shall do nothing to bring the Association into disrepute.

Any Member may resign by giving written notice to the Secretary.

a. If, for any reason whatsoever, the Committee is of the view that a member is breaching the Rules or acting in a manner inconsistent with the purposes of the Association, the Committee may give written notice of this to the Member (“the Committee’s Notice”). The Committee’s Notice must:

    1. Explain how the Member is breaching the Rules or acting in a manner inconsistent with the purposes of the Association:
    2. State what the Member must do in order to remedy the situation: or sta te that the Member must write to the Committee giving reasons why the Committee should not terminate the Member’s Membership.
    3. State that if, within 14 days of the Member receiving the Committee’s Notice, the Committee is not satisfied, the Committee may in its absolute discretion immediately terminate the Member’s Membership.
    4. State that if the Committee terminates the Member’s Membership, the Member may appeal to the Association.

 

b. Fourteen days after the Member received the Committee’s Notice, the Committee may in its absolute discretion by majority vote terminate the Member’s Membership by giving the Member written notice (“Termination Notice”), which takes immediate effect. The Termination Notice must state that the Member may appeal to the Association at the next Meeting by giving written notice to the Secretary (“Member’s Notice”) within 14 days of the Member’s receipt of the Termination Notice.

c. If the Member gives the Member’s Notice to the Secretary, the Member will have the right to be fairly heard at an Association Meeting held within the following 28 days. If the Member chooses, the Member may provide the Secretary with a written explanation of the events as the Member sees them (“the Member’s Explanation”), and the Member may require the Secretary to give the Member’s explanation to every other Member within 7 days of the Secretary receiving the Member’s explanation. If the Member is not satisfied that the other Association Members have had sufficient time to consider the Member’s Explanation, the Member may defer his or her right to be heard until the following Association Meeting.
