duel membership

[Guest Christina]

Good Morning Everyone!

        If an individual holds duel membership in an organization, and pays duel membership fees/dues, does that individual get to cast 2 votes in an election?

[Richard Brown]

Not unless your bylaws authorize it.  He/she is still one member, although perhaps paying double dues. Question:  Why do you authorize dual memberships for one person?

[Guest Christina]

We are a non-profit organization that does a lot of theatrical performances to raise money.  This individual paid dues to be a member on our "Male Line" and also paid dues to be a member (with his theatrical name) on our "Female Line"

Well, if nothing else, I think that's a "first" for this humble forum.

 

I suppose I'd tell him he can make all the donations he wants but if he's already a member, he can't become a member again. But they're your rules.

RONR is based on "one person, one vote." Only your rules could provide otherwise. The answer to your question will have to be found in your organization's bylaws.

Perhaps the 'duel' membership has something to do with how often a member gets to sword fight or carry dueling pistols in their theatrical productions?

No.

 

But he might get dual shots in the duel.
