Larry Cisar Posted November 13, 2013 at 07:09 AM Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 at 07:09 AM The Bylaws contain a provision that honorary membership can be granted. The Bylaws also have a provision that members may not be employed by the club. Would this prohibition extend to honorary members? It is very controversial within the club so I want to get opinions from more than myself. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Honemann Posted November 13, 2013 at 12:34 PM Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 at 12:34 PM It seems to me that this is purely a bylaws interpretation question, and so I am not sure that any of us here will be able to be of much assistance. However, when reviewing the principles of interpretation on pages 588-91, you may find 8 on page 591 helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Edgar Posted November 13, 2013 at 01:06 PM Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 at 01:06 PM It seems to me that an organization might grant an honorary membership to someone in order to prevent his employment (okay, so maybe it's unlikely). If so, I don't think honorary membership should be included in the membership barrier to employment. After all, if an honorary member really needs the job, and the "honor" prohibits his employment, it's not much of an honor, is it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My saying that "I am not sure that any of us here will be able to be of much assistance", now appears to have been a gross understatement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
