ARTICLE IV.

MEMBERSHIP BY INDIVIDUALS

• Membership in the ASSOCIATION by individuals shall be in one of the following general classes: Full Member in good standing, and Honorary Member.

  The definition of ``Full Member in good standing'' is a Full Member who is in full compliance with these Bylaws while exercising the rights and duties of his or her membership including payments of dues if required to do so.

  The term Affiliate Member will be used interchangeably to designate a ``Full Member in good standing'' with the ASSOCIATION.

• Full Members in good standing of the ASSOCIATION shall have the right to attend and participate meetings, to serve as delegates or alternates when so designated by their Component Associations, and to receive certain mailings of the ASSOCIATION.

  Full Members shall consist of all those who have been admitted as members of the ASSOCIATION through application to ASSOCIATION.

• Honorary Members shall consist of those who have made outstanding contributions to the ASSOCIATION, and its Component Associations. Upon recommendation of the Board of Directors, an individual shall be designated as an Honorary Member of the ASSOCIATION by two-thirds affirmative vote of the Assembly of Delegates. The title shall be conferred for life and shall carry with it none of the obligations but all the benefits of Full Members in good standing.
• An ASSOCIATION member may be suspended or expelled for cause on the recommendation of at least two members of the Board of Directors and by two-thirds majority vote of the Board of Directors then in office.
• During the first years of the operation founding members, and later on the Assembly of delegates may create other categories of membership.
