Any member may leave the group at any time, for any reason. Members that chose to step away without conflict will most likely be welcomed back to the Society when they are ready. If you choose to leave and make disparaging comments about or antagonistic behavior toward the group or board members or cause conflict or drama on your way out or after your departure, your return to the Society must be approved by the owner and board of directors. This includes all Society events, including but not limited to vetting lunches/dinners/coffee, off site social gatherings, special interest group meetings, on site parties, and educationals.
