I understand membership brings certain privileges and obligations that require compliance. Membership is final only upon approval by the Board of Directors and may be revoked should completion of requirements, such as orientation, not be completed within the timeframe established in the Association’s Bylaws.
I understand that I will be granted provisional membership upon submission and processing of a completed application form and remittance of applicable dues and application fee, and that my application is subject to review by the Board of Directors. I further understand that if I fail to attend the mandatory orientation within sixty (60) days, my membership will be terminated, at which time I will be given notice of the termination of my provisional membership. The application fee is non-refundable.
I understand that I will be required to complete periodic Code of Ethics training as specified in the Association’s Bylaws as a condition of membership.

If applicant resigns or otherwise causes membership to terminate, the duty to submit arbitration continues in effect even after membership lapses or is terminated, provided the dispute arose while applicant was a REALTOR®.
