Which statement about the disaffiliation process is FALSE?

• A. An exit interview with the E board is required.
• B. The exit interview allows discussion of reasons for disaffiliation.
• C. Disaffiliating members must turn in letters they own that they did not pay for themselves.
• D. Reimbursement is guaranteed if dues were paid before disaffiliation.

Answer: (D)

The situation tests how disaffiliation policies handle dues and refunds. In most organizations, the process is structured to wrap up the member’s relationship cleanly: there’s an exit interview with the executive board to discuss the reasons for leaving, which helps the group understand member experience and improve. It’s also standard to require turning in any organizational property or materials that were issued to the member, to settle accounts and reclaim items.

However, guaranteeing reimbursement of dues paid before disaffiliation is not typical. Refunds, if offered at all, are usually subject to specific policies, may be prorated, or may be denied depending on the organization’s rules. That’s why the statement about guaranteed reimbursement is the false one.
