SELP Membership Renewal

Join | Renew | Current Members

SELP memberships must be renewed annually by the 1st of March. To renew your organization's membership in SELP submit a completed copy of the 2012 Membership Renewal form along with your annual dues.

Membership Maintenance

In order to qualify for continuing membership in SELP each group must continue to fulfill membership criteria and responsibilities. Failure to fulfill either may result in membership rescindment.

A member group's fulfillment of the criteria will be reviewed if the member indicates they do not fit a criterion on the annual self-evaluation or if another member group or SELP staff raises the issue.

A member group's fulfillment of the responsibilities will be reviewed if:

1. The member group fails to provide their self-evaluation, dues or organizational survey;
2. Another member group or SELP staff considers their participation in the network to be insufficient;
3. Another member group or SELP staff considers their actions damaging to SELP's endeavors.

Failure to provide the self-evaluation, dues or organizational survey by the deadline (March 1st of each year) will result first in membership suspension. If the materials have not been provided by the end of the same calendar year, the organization’s membership will be rescinded.

Member groups may request that a particular criterion or responsibility be waived in a given year. For example, they may request a particular criterion be waived because their failure to meet that criterion is temporary. Or they may request dues be waived because of temporary financial hardship. The Membership Committee will review such requests and grant waivers when appropriate.

In any situation where a group's membership is being considered for suspension or rescindment, the Membership Committee will ask the group to provide their position and any supporting evidence. If the Membership Committee determines - based on the group's submission and other relevant information - that membership should be revoked, they will make a recommendation to the Board for a final decision. All proceedings regarding a group's membership will be kept confidential, limited to involved SELP staff and the Membership Committee, and to the Board if they receive a recommendation from the Membership Committee.

To renew your organization's membership in SELP submit a completed copy of the 2012 Membership Renewal form along with your annual dues.
