A suspended member is a former member whose membership has been revoked and is now a non-member contact.
A lapsed member is a member who has lost membership privileges because of unpaid membership fees.
Unlike a suspended member, a lapsed member can restore their membership by paying the renewal fee. A suspended member must reapply for membership using the same process as any other applicant.
To confirm someone's membership status, check the Membership tab on their contact record.
