Advisory Notice for Prospective New Member Applicants:
If you are interesting in joining our chapter, the first step is to fill out the contact form below and press the SUBMIT button. The information you enter will be routed to Alan Ferguson, our Chapter Membership Chair. Alan in turn will contact you to explain our chapter’s application process in more detail. Alternatively, if you have questions about the advisory notice above, or other questions, you may prefer to email Alan directly at SNIWLA.mdr@gmail.com.
Be advised, that after you’ve been contacted by Alan as described above, the current application process for joining our chapter will be as follows:
1. Prospective members will need to attend an orientation meeting at the S-N IWLA park. A group of up to six prospective members may attend the orientation. This orientation will be conducted by three (3) chapter members, to include at least two Board members or officers. Note: The New Member Application PDF form revision ‘v2020-12-16’ is effective as of December 16, 2020, and must be submitted by the applicant for membership. Please do not submit the application form just yet, but plan to bring it with you to the orientation meeting.
2. The applicant must submit to a criminal background and sex offender registry check. The cost of this background check is $25 for individual membership or $30 for a family membership to include the primary member and their spouse. The applicant will pay this fee when submitting their application during the orientation meeting.
3. The applicant must list three chapter committees on their application on which they would consider serving. The applicant will be contacted by one of these chapter committee chairs for the purpose of getting acquainted, and answering any questions the applicant may have. The applicant may be asked to serve on one of these committees as the need arises.
4. Upon the Board approving the application for membership there is a one-time initiation fee of $150 for a Family or Individual Membership payable to the chapter in addition to the annual membership dues.
The application process described above was implemented by the S-N IWLA Board of Directors on September 8th, 2020.
