Associate & Honorary Membership

Associate Membership

Honorary Membership

Associate Membership

Regular members who are no longer actively training or involved with the club may put their membership on hold by switching to Associate status. Associates will have continued access to the Members-only areas of the website and other members-only channels of communication, but are not eligible for any other privileges of Regular membership (including voting and holding office). 

Dues:

  • Associate Individual: $17.50
  • Associate Family: $7.50 for each additional Associate member


switchING to Associate status

Changes from Regular to Associate status can be made only during the annual membership renewal period.  

In most cases, members can make this switch themselves as part of the renewal process. Members can manually switch themselves from “Regular Individual” to “Associate Individual,” or from “Regular Family” to “Associate Family," without the approval or assistance of an administrator. 

However, if only one person in the Regular Family membership wishes to switch to Associate status, you will need to contact an administrator for help.


switchING from Associate back to Regular status 

Associate members may switch back to Regular status at any time in the year.  To do so, they must:

  • Have met the volunteer requirements for Regular membership as stipulated for new applicants  in Bylaws Art. 1 section 1(c)
  • Fill out part 1b of the application form
  • Submit the form to the Membership Chair along with the difference between Regular dues and any Associate dues they have already paid for the year
  • Attend one General Membership meeting, at which the application will be read and voted on.  An affirmative vote by three-quarters of the members present and voting at that meeting shall be required to approve the reinstatement.

Honorary Membership

Honorary membership is available to any individual who has given outstanding service to the club. Honorary members pay no dues and have all the privileges of Regular membership except voting and holding office.
