poistojäsen

A poistojäsen, which translates to "exit member" or "departing member" in English, is a term used in the context of membership organizations, clubs, or associations in Finland. It refers to an individual who has formally decided to cease their membership with the organization. The process of becoming a poistojäsen typically involves submitting a resignation or termination request to the organization's administration.

The reasons for becoming a poistojäsen can vary widely. An individual might choose to leave due to changing personal circumstances, a lack of interest in the organization's activities, financial constraints, or dissatisfaction with the organization's direction or services. Some organizations may have specific procedures or notice periods for resignation, which a poistojäsen must adhere to.

Upon becoming a poistojäsen, an individual generally relinquishes any rights and privileges associated with their membership, such as voting rights, access to member-exclusive resources, or participation in certain events. They are also typically no longer obligated to pay membership fees. The organization may maintain a record of former members for administrative purposes. The term itself is a straightforward descriptor of someone who is no longer an active member.
