Guest Janice Jay Posted June 7, 2015 at 03:25 AM Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 at 03:25 AM Is it customary for the detailed Membership lists to be shared with others in the association? Who should have access and how much detail? The president? The membership chair? The board? The general membership? I am concerned about people's privacy and whether the list would be used for any other reason such as soliciting business or political marketing campaigns if it is shared.

Hieu H. Huynh Posted June 7, 2015 at 03:28 AM Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 at 03:28 AM It is up to your association to decide such a detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjmess66 Posted June 8, 2015 at 01:42 AM Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 at 01:42 AM In NC the state statue (55A) regarding non-profits require that a membership list be available to members. There are penalties if you do not comply. Check your state laws to see if this is required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Brown Posted June 8, 2015 at 02:46 AM Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 at 02:46 AM In my experience, it is customary to make the membership list available to other members, but, as Mr. Huynh said, it is up to your organization to decide how to handle the issue. There is no rule covering it in RONR, but, as Carol Messenger pointed out, you might be subject to state laws on the matter. I'm also aware of organizations, such as NAP, which appear to allow members to opt out of having their names listed in a directory or online. Different organizations decide for themselves how public to make their membership information and on the uses that can be made of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
