Suspending a membership

Suspending a membership

From time to time it may become necessary to revoke someone's membership - e.g. for people who failed to renew their membership (this can be automated - see Automating membership renewals).

To suspend a membership, go to the member's Contact card -> Membership tab (see: View and edit memberships). There is a button labeled Suspend in their Membership section. Click on the button to suspend the membership.

Suspending a membership will:

  • Remove the membership so they become a non-member contact
  • Hide them from any member directory
  • Keep an archive of their membership level and status 
  • Keep all their contact information as it was before (e.g. you can still send emails to this person)

Resuming a membership

If, at a later date, you wish to reinstate the contact as a member, you can click on the Resume button - which will reactivate them to their previous membership level with all their details intact.

The renewal date and payment/approval status will not be changed when a membership is resumed. You may have to manually edit the renewal date to reflect any time that the contact may be owed while their membership was suspended
