Summary of the Membership Policy
Link aims to attract people from the communities it serves - and those interested in helping it achieve its objectives - to become members of the Association.
This policy relates to membership of Link Group only. Subsidiaries are run by committees whose members are appointed by the Group.
Principles
Membership of the Group is open to any individual
- who is or may be affected by its activities
- who is committed to Link's overall aims and objectives and to developing, promoting and implementing them
Membership is open to partner organisations (or their representatives) with which the Group or any of the subsidiaries operates (such as tenants', residents' and proprietors' associations) which meet the requirements above.
Approach and method
Link wishes to encourage as broad a representation as possible in its membership of the groups and communities which it serves so particularly welcomes applications from:
- Tenants of properties managed by Group subsidiaries
- Other residents of the areas within which it operates
- People who can make a positive contribution based on their community, business or professional experience or skills
- Representatives of tenants', residents' and proprietors' associations operating in neighbourhoods where Link manages properties
Applications
Applications for membership may be made direct to Link Group or to any subsidiary.
Applications must be accompanied by a fee of £1 and - if successful - a certificate of membership will be issued.
- Membership of Link Group will cease when a member:
- Resigns by giving written notice to the Director or Secretary
- Becomes an employee of the Group or of any other organisation within the Group
- Is expelled in accordance with the Rules
- Changes address, but does not notify the Association of the new address
- Dies
The £1 membership fee is not refundable on termination of membership.
Policy approved by Group Board On 18th January 2005.
