Which statement about the exit interview is true?

• A. It is optional
• B. It must be completed before disaffiliation can occur
• C. It is used to assess the member's performance
• D. It is a public event

Answer: (B)

The exit interview is a formal closure step that must happen before a member can be disaffiliated. This timing ensures that the chapter can finalize the member’s status only after the departing member has had a structured opportunity to share feedback and settle any outstanding obligations. It also helps verify that all dues, property, and records are returned or resolved, creating a clear, documented end to the membership relationship.

This process is not meant as a performance review, and it isn’t a public event. It’s a private, organized discussion with designated officers to ensure proper processing and to gather constructive input for the chapter’s improvement. If a choice suggested that the interview is optional, or that it serves to rate performance, or that it happens as a public event, those descriptions don’t align with the intended purpose or the privacy and closure focus of the exit interview.
