ARTICLE 15: TRANSFER OF MEMBERS

Any active member who moves from his Club's area for business or personal reasons may apply through the Secretary of his Club, for an active or life member transfer to the Club in his new place of business or residence.

These transfer requests, transmitted by the Secretary of the Club are normally accepted if:

i. The applicant requesting the transfer fulfils the stipulations for admission specified in Article 6 and Article 7 or Article 8 of these Statutes.
ii. His current membership fee has been paid in full.
a) A member so transferred will not have to pay a second subscription for the current year, nor seek sponsorship by two Club members.

b) Until the transferred member is officially registered by Skal International as a member of the new Club, on the receipt by the General Secretariat of the completed transfer form, the original Club will grant the member transfer status.
The member continues paying the membership fee to the original Club and retains the voting rights in that Club.

c) A transfer member may not be a candidate for election. The member may, however, attend and participate at all meetings and events of the new Club (as far as circumstances permit) where the privileges of membership are enjoyed except the right to vote.

d) In the case where there is no Club within reasonable distance of the new place of business or residence, his original Club may also grant the facility of transfer status.

e) Skal International makes no provision for transfer of associate membership.
