What term describes a person who belongs to an organization?

• A. Member
• B. Association
• C. Membership
• D. Fellowship

Answer: (A)

A member is the term for a person who belongs to an organization. This word is used in bylaws and meeting rules to refer to individuals who have joined and may participate in meetings, vote, and hold office according to the group’s rules. The other terms describe different things: an association is the organization itself or a group, membership refers to the state or the collective of people who belong, and fellowship points to camaraderie or a specific group of people with shared interests. Therefore, the person who belongs is best described as a member.
