Joshua Katz Posted September 28, 2022 at 11:56 PM Report Share Posted September 28, 2022 at 11:56 PM This is likely to turn on the specifics of membership as defined in your bylaws. As far as RONR is concerned, a prior resignation of membership is no barrier to a new membership, at least insofar as there is no rule to that effect in RONR. But your rules may well contain an applicable rule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Note resignation letter and coming back is several months If a person has resigned from the organization, and the resignation has, if necessary, been accepted, the person is no longer a member. Whether the resignation was by letter or any other means does not affect the answer. There is no rule in RONR that would prevent the person from becoming a member again. There is no rule against it, and no preference in favor of it. In other words, the person would have to apply for membership and follow all the rules and requirements that a brand new member would. That's what RONR says--if you have any local rules that apply to former members, they would have to be found in your bylaws or other rules, and they would supersede the rules in RONR.
