“Only women over twenty-one (21) years of age who comply with the requirements of the association, shall be admitted to new member membership by the league. No member shall at any one time be a member of more than one junior league. Categories of membership shall be as follows: new member membership: members who are engaged in training established by the league to prepare them for effective community and league involvement. They are not eligible to vote until voted into active membership. New members shall be elected to active status by the board of directors upon the recommendation of the new member committee. Active membership: members who have completed the new member training and justify active membership by demonstrating volunteer service to the york community and the league until the end of the fiscal year in which they choose to reclassify their membership status. Sustaining membership: members who have fulfilled the active membership requirements as defined by the league and who continue to support the league and the york community. Members must have completed eight (8) years of active membership. Sustaining members who are serving on any league committee; are serving on the sustainer board; or are a past active or sustainer president of the league will have voting privileges on all issues except those affecting active membership requirements. They shall have all privileges of membership. Sustainer emeritus membership: members who have reached the age of 80 years and have requested emeritus membership. Upon being granted emeritus membership permanently, the member shall no longer have a dues requirement to the junior league.”

“The board of directors is elected by a vote of the general membership.”

“Voting by the general membership will be by written ballot for: new/existing projects, grants exceeding 7,500, dues, funds not previously budgeted; bylaws and policies affecting league structure; election of the board of directors; and items which affect membership requirements.”
