Corporate Chapter suspended

Recommended Posts

A chapter of a Corporation has been suspended and all operations, functions, activities, etc. have ceased.

Just prior to this action, a Chapter member had been placed on suspension as a member not in good standing until MAR 2021.

Does that member's suspension get put on hold until the Chapter suspension is lifted, thereby extending her reinstatement date later into 2021?

TYIA!

"Discretionary Suspension. For the welfare and good of the Corporation and of the member, suspension may be required. Suspension includes the suspension of membership privileges, excluding the member from use of Corporation property, meetings, activities, events, etc. A suspension allows the opportunity to review the circumstances and hold discussions with all parties involved before further action is taken. Depending on the action of the review process, all or part of the suspension may be revoked."

While I concur with Mr. Huynh that this will ultimately require interpreting the organization's own rules, I would generally think that if the motion specified that the member was suspended "until March 2021," then the motion means what it says and the suspension lasts until March 2021. Whoever has the authority to suspend members could presumably suspend the member for a longer period if desired, by following the relevant procedures in your organization's rules, but I do not think the suspension would be automatically extended on the grounds that "operations, functions, activities, etc." have ceased. March 2021 is still March 2021 regardless of what activities the chapter is doing.
