It should be kept in mind that the decisions of the Transitions Committee are in the form of recommendations to the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors needs to ratify those decisions in order for them to take effect. The Importance of Date-Setting Your continued friendship is important to us, during and after your departure. These tensions usually grow rather than diminish. For that reason, we ask that once you ve decided to leave you do so as quickly as is feasible.
Most single individuals depart on their own within days to weeks of their decision to leave.
For married couples, however, the process is understandably more difficult. Our guideline for a married couple without children wishing to depart is two months. A childless couple has twice the opportunity to find work and has no dependents to worry about. As a rule, then, that couple should plan on leaving within a two-month period unless special circumstances arise. Such circumstances can be discussed with the Transitions Committee.
