I think it has to be more clearly defined.  I.e is it a chapter probation or a state probation.  Is the position an elected position or  is it appointed?  Is it something that many guys want or is it like most positions in a volunteer outfit, something you have to beg someone to do?  And is it being done in accordance with, or contrary to, bylaws and written policies ?

- chapter and state
- appointed
- does this really matter
- good standing, to me being on probation you are not in good standing.

Will anyone who voted "yes" elaborate on why they think a member on probation should be able serve in a leadership role?

I voted no because to me if you are on probation, you are not in good standing, therefore should not be eligible.

Really depends on what you Chapter By-Laws say.  How they define good standing, how they define qualifications for the office.  In Dallas I do not believe you would continue to hold an office, but I would have to get back and re-read the By-Laws.

The other issues is the nature of the probation or suspension. What if someone is given a playoff suspension but is still eligible to work regular season games? Or they are given a varsity suspension, but still eligible to work sub-varsity? Does either of these situations affect good standing?

Also, if you are limiting their ability to serve, are you also in favor of limiting their ability to vote in elections?

I have a bigger problem with life time members who have not worked a game in 3+ years being able to vote during any chapter election.

  Also a By-Law issue, but I do not have a problem with this.  They helped build the chapter, devoted time and effort to the chapter.  Why shouldn't they still be able to vote --  just because they are off the field?
