Good standing of clubs A club is in good standing when it has paid its dues to World

Headquarters for a minimum of six members—at least three of whom were members of the club during the previous renewal period—by May 31 for the period of April through September and by November 30 for the period of October through March.

A club whose dues have not been paid and received at World Headquarters is considered delinquent after the due date and remains so until dues have been paid. If dues are not paid prior to the following renewal period, the club is

suspended from active status, which means that all services and membership status for the club and its members are discontinued.

If dues are paid prior to the following renewal period, the club returns to good standing.

Excepción a la Regla de 6 proyectos

Respuesta de la sede internacional: If the membership application for the member was not included in the

charter paperwork for the club they would not be recognized as a charter member. This means that they would be required to complete at least six speeches from their CC manual.

Charter members have helped establish the new club and their hard work and dedication affords them the privilege of competing under the charter member provision. If this provision was not in place, a member who wishes to compete in speech contests without following the Toastmasters educational program could continuously join a newly chartered to avoid having to complete the six manual speeches while still being able to compete.
