103 Joint Membership
Any two or more persons, including a husband and wife, may apply for a joint membership and, subject to their compliance with the requirements set forth in Bylaw 101 of this Article, may be accepted for such membership. The term "member" as used in these Bylaws shall be deemed to include a husband and wife, or two or more persons, holding a joint membership and any provisions relating to the rights and liabilities of membership shall apply equally with respect to the holders of a joint membership unless otherwise clearly stated. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the effect of the hereinafter specified actions by or in respect to the holders of a joint membership shall be as follows:
- The presence at a meeting of one or all shall be regarded as the presence of one member and shall constitute a joint waiver of notice of the meeting;
- The vote of one separately or all jointly shall constitute one joint vote;
- A waiver of notice signed by one or all shall constitute a joint waiver;
- Notice to one shall constitute notice to all;
- Expulsion or withdrawal of one of the joint members shall terminate the joint membership if only one joint member remains; if two or more joint members remain, the joint membership shall continue;
- Only one joint member may be elected or appointed as an officer or director, provided that all joint members meet the qualifications of such office;
- No joint members shall be permitted to have any additional service connections except through their joint membership without first applying for and being accepted in the capacity of an individual member at a separate location; and
- The board shall develop policies regarding capital credit apportionment in the event of legal separation, divorce, death, withdrawal, or expulsion of persons holding joint membership.
