Guest radar Posted January 29, 2015 at 02:25 PM Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 at 02:25 PM We are a Corporation with chapters under our umbrella that are required to submit yearly dues to parent company. we have one chapter that has put these funds in an escrow account until we meet their demands. Our bylaws state that "Dues must be sent to the parent company within a 30 day period and our bylaws state that if a member does not pay their dues by a dead line, that they considered not to be a member in good standing. I have check R.R. for a answer but have not bee successful, please help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edgar Guest Posted January 29, 2015 at 02:40 PM Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 at 02:40 PM I'll assume your (unstated) question is: Is the chapter that has put its dues in an escrow account a member in good standing? Which comes down to asking whether a chapter that has put its dues in an escrow account has "sent their dues to the parent company"? Isn't the answer "No"?

Richard Brown Posted January 29, 2015 at 03:11 PM Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 at 03:11 PM Guest Radar might keep in mind that a member who is not "in good standing" because his dues have not been paid is still a member and "retains the full rights of a voting member and is entitled to vote except as the bylaws may otherwise provide". RONR, p 406. See also pages 571-572 and the footnote on page 6. He should probably check the bylaws to see exactly what rights, if any, are actually "suspended" for a member not in good standing.

Gary Novosielski Posted January 29, 2015 at 04:39 PM Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 at 04:39 PM It depends on the definition of "good standing" that is (I hope) contained in your bylaws. RONR says that a member not in "good standing" has lost some rights by virtue of disciplinary action, or some automatic bylaws provision. But RONR does not say what these rights are, as they vary from organization to organization. If your definition of "good standing" does not spell out what happens as a result of losing it, then presumably nothing happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I understood it, the question was whether this chapter is in good standing, not what it would mean if it wasn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edgar Guest Posted January 29, 2015 at 05:51 PM Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 at 05:51 PM I think it's not really clear as to exactly what the question is. Possibly because there was none. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Grampanda Posted February 6, 2015 at 06:22 PM Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 at 06:22 PM Can a nominating committee set the terms of office if there are no by-laws or charter for a group. This is a RV Resort group and they have no by-laws. Thank you in advance for any answers that are sent. Grampanda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
