Membership Transfer Policy

Individual Members

Individual memberships in LEPE shall belong to the individual, not the employing institution, regardless of who pays the membership fee. It is the right of the individual member to take their membership with them when they move from one position to another or change employment. The member can continue the membership through the expiration date when they leave their employing institution and not transfer it. That individual must change their address with LEPE in order to keep their membership continuous and to receive member benefits.

In the event a member leaves the employing institution, leaves the industry, or for any other reason finds it necessary to terminate their membership, it is the right of the member to transfer their membership to a qualified employee within the same institution. The member may do so providing the following conditions are met:

● Written notice of transfer of membership, signed by the current member, with proper and complete paperwork must be provided to LEPE prior to the expiration date of membership. The notice must include the full name and address of the new member who will assume the current membership through its expiration date. Memberships are transferable one time ONLY. No application fee applies.

● The individual receiving the transfer must complete a LEPE membership application.

Institutional Members

The notice must include the full name and address of the new member who will assume the current membership through its expiration date. Memberships are transferable one time only.
