1)
Structure a) The Grievance Committee shall consist of a Chairperson, who shall serve for one year, and four other members. No two members of the Committee shall be appointed from the same District. Within thirty (30) days after the annual meeting of the Association at which this Constitution is adopted, the Chairperson and two members shall be appointed for a term of one year each and two members shall be appointed for a term of two years each. Thereafter, within thirty (30) days after each succeeding convention, a Chairperson shall be appointed to a term of one year and two members shall be appointed for a term of two years each. The Committee shall have the power to consider and investigate complaints involving alleged misconduct by a member thereof, including, without limitation, alleged member-violations of the principles of the Code of Ethics. The Committee may itself initiate investigation as aforesaid, and, on majority vote of its members, may become the vote of its members, may become the complaining party to a grievance, or may undertake any such investigation upon complaint laid before it by a member of an aggrieved party. The Committee shall proceed in the matter provided b Article IV. 2) Procedure a) Complaints against a member of the Association alleging misconduct in his/her relations with the general public, the Association, or a member thereof, shall be in writing, signed by the complaining party and shall state plainly the matter being complained of. Any such complaint shall be filed with the Secretary of the Association who shall forthwith refer it to the Grievance Committee. The complained-of-member shall be furnished a copy of the complaint and shall be permitted thirty (30) days to answer the same in writing, such answer to be filed with the Chairperson of the Grievance Committee. Such member shall cooperate with the Grievance Committee and, on request, shall disclose pertinent facts and records, not privileged, germane to the investigation. b) At a time and place designated by the Grievance Committee, said Committee shall hold a hearing on the complaint, at which hearing the complainant and the complained-of-member may appear personally and by counsel; provided, however, that if after preliminary investigation the committee shall deem the complaint groundless, it may dismiss the complaint. Upon the dismissal of the complaint, the Grievance Committee shall determine whether said complaint was brought with malicious intent and if so found may assess the reasonable costs of the hearing against the complainant member. c) The Grievance Committee's findings and recommendations after investigation and hearing of any complaint shall be reduced to writing and submitted promptly to the Executive Committee. A copy thereof shall be given to the complained-of-member. Upon the written request of the complained-of-member, the Executive Committee shall, before making a final decision, give him/her an opportunity to appear in person and by counsel and to be heard in support of his/her defense. d) The Executive Committee shall review the Grievance Committee's findings and recommendations and may find the complained-of-member to be guilty or not guilty of the charges against him/her, and if found guilty, may adjudge that he/she be censured, or suspended, or expelled from the Association; but no censure, suspension or expulsion shall be adjudged except by a vote of two-thirds of the whole Executive Committee. Such decision of the Executive Committee shall be reduced to writing and a copy thereof furnished to the complainant and the complained-of-member. e) Any decision of the Executive Committee suspending or expelling a member shall be final and shall become effective according to its terms unless, within thirty (30) days thereafter, the member shall file with the Secretary of the Association a written appeal to the membership of this Association, in which event the decision of the Executive Committee shall be held in abeyance pending determination of the appeal at the next Annual Meeting. Upon any such appeal the decision of the Executive Committee shall be affirmed or reversed by a majority vote of the Active Members present and voting at the meeting. f) All communications, notices or pleadings by or from any party to a grievance proceeding shall be sent by certified or registered mail addressed to the Association at the principal place of business of its Secretary-Treasurer. All notices or communications by or from the Association to any party to such proceedings shall be sent by certified or registered mail addressed to the principal office of said party as last entered upon the records of the Association. | |
