The West Suburban YMCA may, at any time, restrict, suspend, or terminate, for causes described above, the privilege of any member, designee, immediate family members or guest to use any or all of the YMCA’s facilities. No such member shall on account of any such restriction or other suspension be entitled to the repayment of any initiation fees, dues or other charges. During the restriction or suspension, dues, fees and other charges shall continue to accrue and shall be paid in full prior to reinstatement as a member in good standing.

Except in a case of termination or other disciplinary action for non-payment of dues (in which case, the YMCA is entitled to terminate or suspend the membership immediately without further notice), a member shall be notified of any proposed disciplinary action and shall be given an opportunity to be heard by the West Suburban YMCA to show cause why the member should not be disciplined in accordance with these rules. If the member desires to be heard, the member must submit a written request for a hearing to the President and CEO, within seven days after the days of the YMCA’s notice to the member of the proposed action. Upon receipt of the written request for a hearing, the West Suburban YMCA shall set a time and date for such hearing which shall in no event be less than five days after such request. Depending on the severity of the violation in discretion of the YMCA, membership privileges of the offending member may be suspended by the YMCA pending final decision.
