  1. Membership is a privilege; policy infarctions may jeopardize membership status.
  2. We are proud of our organization; we respect our Founders.
    3. If you have a grievance, utilize proper channels as listed in the policy.

VIOLATION POLICY: action steps
I. Immediate isolation of offending member(s) on all social media until resolution is determined by the current Administration, especially C-T sponsored groups or pages, including digital Beam Club lists and Constant Contact variety of email lists to prevent weaponization of our own media against our Organization.

  1. A certified letter stamped ‘official business’ will be sent to the offending member(s), signed by the IOTBC Chief Pilot and current admin of CTI in recognition of the reported violation, with a copy of the Social Media Policy, including action steps requiring the offending information be deleted
    from Social Media. Upon cooperation, isolation will be reversed.
  2. Any further violations or failure to comply with the stated Policy will result in a vote by IOTBC Executive Officers whether or not to remove the person’s membership and revoke all privileges of membership. (Any tie votes will go to the chief CTI admin for a tie breaker)
  3. That vote will be communicated to CTI staff, a notation made in the member’s record, and CTI would then refund any paid membership remaining with a written communication explaining the action.
  4. There will be a waiting period of 1-3 years before that person is allowed to petition for membership again, depending on the gravity and reasons of offense held against Concept-Therapy, it’s policies,
    representatives or membership, past or present.
