Membership Committee

The Membership Committee consists of two dedicated members who play a pivotal role in managing the club's membership process. Their responsibilities extend to both new and existing members. 

Working closely with the webmaster, they enhance the initial contact experience by building upon the first contact letter generated by the webmaster. This collaborative effort ensures that prospective members receive essential information about the club, its activities, and the prerequisites for joining. Additionally, the committee maintains accurate membership records, fostering a seamless transition for those who choose to become part of our vibrant artistic community.

Visitor Introduction and Engagement

Beyond administrative tasks, the Membership Committee serves as ambassadors for our club. 

1. When visitors express interest in joining, the committee steps in to provide a warm welcome. 

2. Once a potential member contacts us via the contact mechanism on our website, a Membership Inquiry letter is generated by the webmaster. The President and the Membership Committee are cc'd on this letter. 

3. After this initial contact, the Membership Committee takes over communication.

4. They invite potential members to our meetings, outlining the prerequisite of attending two mandatory meetings. 

5. Once the potential member has attended the two mandatory meetings, the Membership Committee invites them to submit an Official Membership Application located on our website. 

6. After the application and mandatory meetings are completed, the Membership Committee invites them to an adjudication session where they submit five pieces of original artwork.

They facilitate introductions, answer questions, and guide potential members through the process. By emphasizing inclusivity and genuine connection, they create an inviting atmosphere where everyone feels valued. 

As the first point of contact, they lay the foundation for lasting relationships, ensuring that our artistic family continues to thrive.
