| NOTE: Applicant acknowledges that if accepted as a member and he/she subsequently resigns from the Board or otherwise causes membership to terminate with an ethics complaint pending, the Board of Directors may condition renewal of membership upon applicant’s certification that he/she will submit to the pending ethics proceeding and will abide by the decision of the hearing panel. If applicants resign or otherwise cause membership to terminate, the duty to submit to arbitration continues to effect even after membership lapses or is terminated, provided the dispute arose while applicant was a member. |
