§ 5332 Corporate Member Definitions

• •A company can call people 'members' even if they aren't official members under the law.
• •The company can help non-members, but the board or company rules decide how much to charge for it.
• •If the law talks about 'members,' it means the official ones, not just anyone the company calls a member.

A gym calls everyone who pays a 'member,' but only some have voting rights.

The gym can help non-members (like guests) and charge them, but the real 'members' with voting rights are the ones the law cares about.
