Member Conduct and Disciplinary Procedures

Disciplining members is a challenging aspect of running an association or charity. Whilst most membership bodies seek new entrants, sometimes it is necessary to seek to discipline or remove a member. Getting this right requires knowledge and the correct processes.

This webinar will discuss:

• What comprises misconduct

• Who has authority to remove a member: the Board, membership or another?

• Understanding your Articles’ disciplinary provisions and relevant By-laws

• The need for procedural fairness

• Avoiding common pitfalls and minimising reputational risk
