- All members start off as Supporting Members, with no voting rights.
- A Supporting Member may submit an application to become a Regular Member only after 90 days of membership.
- A member’s application to change from Supporting Member to Regular Member must be submitted via email to [email protected] from the email address registered on their account. Rights will be effective upon receipt of the e-mail.
- Members added via the Family rate will not be allowed voting rights.
It’s very important to ensure that you DO have voting rights prior to any official votes (including voting for the Board of Directors and various agenda items during scheduled member meetings). It’s equally important to request your voting rights be removed if you do not plan on using them, in order for quorum to be able to be met by the percentage of voting members required at any given official vote.
