| ====== 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. | |
