Guest ConcernedMember Posted October 15, 2014 at 05:05 PM Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 at 05:05 PM Hi, sorry I am new to this but my department is having an issue with a member. This member was an active life member and had several charges brought against him for actions that happened between him and several underage girls. He has family members that are high up in the chain of command and his membership was never addressed and then all of a sudden now he is inactive life member. Most of the department believes that he should be removed completely because inactive life still grants him access to the property and it looks bad to the community and our donors. Our Bylaws state that one must be in good standing and be voted on by the department to transfer to inactive status. Our life members do not have a clause stating that they are exempt from this so it should refer back to the original inactive transfer requirements correct?

Your question is one of your own customized rules.Your question is not one of Robert's Rules of Order. Someone will have to read your bylaws, in full, and make an interpretation. This Q-and-A forum is not the place to analyze highly-customized rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
