Termination of Membership

4.1 Member Resignation or Withdrawal of Application.

A. Resignation. A member may resign at any time by giving written notice of such resignation to the Board of Trustees. Resignation is effective without acceptance when the notice is given to the Association, unless a later effective time is specified in the notice. The resignation of a member does not relieve the member from any obligations the member may have to the Association for dues, assessments, fees or charges for goods or services.

B. Withdrawal of Application. An applicant may withdraw his/her application at any time in the application process.

4.2 Automatic Suspension. The following occurrences disqualify an applicant for membership or shall result in automatic suspension of membership, without rights to a hearing under Article V:

A. Dues Delinquency. Any member delinquent in dues or special assessments shall be suspended from membership. The member may be reinstated if dues and assessments for the year in which the suspension was invoked and the dues and assessments for the year in which application for reinstatement is made are paid in full. Delinquency dates shall be determined by the Board of Trustees.

B. License Revocation. Any member whose Minnesota license is revoked shall thereupon cease to be a member of the Association.

C. Concurrent Membership. Any member, other than an at-large member, who ceases to be a member of a component society, for any reason, shall cease to be a member of the Association for the same period of time.

4.3 Disciplinary Actions.

A. Membership may be denied, revoked or restricted only by the action of the Board of Trustees, which may only be taken pursuant to the MMA Professional Performance Review Policy.

B. The MMA Professional Performance Review Policy shall be adopted by the Board of Trustees, and may be amended by resolution of the Board of Trustees.

C. The MMA Professional Performance Review Policy and membership actions taken pursuant thereto shall be binding upon the component societies.
