How do I become a member?

New members begin as associate members. Associate members may apply by completing the membership form and paying the membership fee. All members must sign the Code of Ethics found in the Governance section and include a copy with their membership application. Associate members require sponsorship by one regular member.

After two years, an associate member can apply for full (regular) membership. Sponsorship by two regular members (not from the same household) is required. Regular members hold voting rights and may hold office in the club. Individual and Joint memberships are available.

If you have questions about becoming a member or wish to submit a membership request, contact our membership coordinator at:
