Termination Process
Each person participating in Chamber activities is subject to review of the Executive Director. The Chamber reserves the discretionary right to halt participation of the person if the conduct of the person, in the Executive Director's opinion, has legal or ethical implications detrimental to the person, and/or the Chamber.
Written notice of the intention to terminate the person will be given. The notice will set out a time and place for a meeting with the Executive Director, indicate that the person is under review and may be terminated at that meeting, provide sufficient reasons to enable the person in question to prepare to answer the complaint or concerns raised and allow them to make an answer at the meeting.
The decision of the Executive Director is a final and binding decision from which there is no appeal to any tribunal whatsoever. Termination does not relieve the person from any obligations they owe to the Chamber,
