The Board may deny admission to any person as a member of the cooperative when there are grounds to believe that such a person may impair or obstruct the pursuit of goals and purposes of the cooperative, has been expelled from membership, dismissed from any office in the directing bodies of any other cooperative entity, or fails to comply with the requirements for admission set forth in the bylaws of the cooperative.
