| ====== Membership at HSBNE ====== |
| Updating your membership record when you're leaving the group is important! Whether you're moving cross-country or just going back to school for a few months, |
| |
| If you've experienced a problem with another member that is making you feel unwelcome, please refer to [[howto:beexcellent|How to Be Excellent]] and the [[http://hsbne.org/admin/dispute.html|Dispute Resolution Policy]]. |
| |
| ==== If you're planning to come back within a few months ==== |
| * Email the Treasurer (treasurer@hsbne.org) and ask to suspend your membership. They'll suspend billing, and keeps your account from getting all horrible and confusing. |
| * Suspended membership leaves you on the email lists and stuff. |
| * Suspended membership is appropriate for medium-term departures. If you're gonna be gone a year or longer, please just cancel your membership, below: |
| |
| ==== If you're not planning to come back (soon) ==== |
| * Email the Treasurer and ask to cancel your membership. As above, being clear about when you've left reduces the fretting about whether you have. |
| * You are always welcome to renew your membership at any point in the future (it'll just be more paperwork) |
| |
| ==== In all cases ==== |
| |
| * Go through member storage, make sure you've taken all your stuff home, and return any used tub(s) to the pile near the door. |
| * Go through the rest of the space, and if you're taking anything loaned home that people might miss, please notify the forum! |
| * It would be polite to offer the option if people want to buy from you the things we've come to rely on, before they simply vanish. |
| * Optional: Let the executive know what made you decide to leave. Don't worry, they can take it! |
| |
| ==== Financial Hardship ==== |
| Member Fees may be waived in part or in full for a three month period due to financial hardship or relocation by emailed petition approved by at least two thirds (2/3rds) of the management committee. |
| |
| If you're stuck, email the executive and we might be able to give you a WOOFing task. |
