Upon the receipt of an
application for membership to Landlord's Self-Help Centre, together with
the membership fee (either annual or lifetime), the Executive Director
shall initiate the membership by: |
| |
a) Activating online
privileges that will |
|
- permit access to the password
protected members' area of the web site; and
- include the member on the mass
mail "e-list"
|
| |
b) Creating a record of
the member in the membership database thus ensuring inclusion on all
membership lists and correspondence.
|
| 2.
|
Upon activation of a
membership and where the member has expressed an interest in volunteering
to serve on a committee or at the board level, the member must submit his
or her resume to the Board of Directors together with two references. |
| 3. |
If the member is
volunteering to serve on a committee no further screening action is
required. |
| 4. |
If the member is seeking
a seat on the board of directors: |
| |
a) A satisfactory
recommendation from two references must be secured. |
|
b) Following the receipt
of two satisfactory recommendations, the Board of Directors will invite
the member candidate to attend two consecutive regularly scheduled monthly
meetings.
|
| c)
During the first meeting attended by
the member, the Board will appoint a current Director to mentor the
candidate. The role of mention is intended to acquaint and instruct
the candidate on Landlord's Self-Help Centre's policies, procedure,
history and to answer any questions or concerns raised by the candidate. |
| d)
The candidate will not
be invited to attend the third meeting. This will give the
Board an opportunity to review the candidate as a potential director and
determine whether a nomination will be made. |
| 5. |
Priority
will be given to active board committee members; however, such
participation does not guarantee directorship. |
| 6. |
The Executive Director
will inform the candidate of the nomination or the decision not to
nominate as soon after the meeting as possible. |
