Motion #09-10  (see below)

 

Whereas, Article II, Section 4 of the Bylaws provides that a member may be terminated from membership by lapsing for failure to pay dues.  However, the law of Wisconsin, BHCA's state of incorporation, does not allow for such a termination unless it is authorized by the Articles of Incorporation.  BHCA's Articles do not so provide; accordingly, BHCA's bylaw regarding termination by lapsing cannot be enforced.  The following Resolution provides due process to advise delinquent members of their loss of privileges prior to termination of membership, and should assist in member retention.  No member can be expelled under this Resolution unless dues are delinquent for in excess of one year.

 

Motion #09-10 

 

I move “That a member who is delinquent in paying his, her or their Club dues for a period of ninety (90) days from the first day of the Club's fiscal year, shall be deemed a member not in good standing and shall be suspended from all Club privileges, including, but not limited to, voting privileges, the right to receive the Tally Ho, and the right to be published in the BHCA Roster, until such time as such member pays all such delinquent dues or resigns from the Club, whichever shall first occur.  Immediately after the expiration of ninety (90) days from the beginning of each fiscal year, the Corresponding Secretary shall send notice to all such members not in good standing advising such members of their dues delinquency and of their suspended status, and shall request that such members either bring such dues current or resign from the Club.  The Club may expel any member whose dues remain delinquent for a period of more than one (1) year at an Annual Meeting in accordance with Article VIII, Section 4 of the Bylaws.”
