APPLY FOR NEW OR UPDATED MEMBERSHIP


Use this form to request the online Membership Application documents for a new or updated membership.  Once submitted, the Membership Chairperson will be notified of your request and will initiate the online document process in DocuSign.  The applicant should expect to receive an email within three days that will provide links to the online documents to fill in and submit their application to the Membership Committee. Once the applicant completes the document, the Sponsors will receive an email notification to complete their portion on DocuSign. 

SPONSOR EXPECTATIONS - A new member’s application requires a primary and secondary sponsor who are Regular Members of Atlanta Yacht Club. The application asks you, as a Sponsor, to attest to the experience and interest of the applicant in the sport of sailing. Additionally, a sponsor should ensure the applicant understands the answers to the following:

·      Purpose of the club
·      Expectations of owning a boat, joining a fleet, and actively participating in fleet races and activities
·      Expectations of volunteering (Race Committee, Fleet racing, Fleet events, attending and volunteering to assist with events) 
·      How the club is financed
·      How the club is governed
·      Difference between fleet and club activities
·      Current state of the club’s finances 
·      How the application is processed
·      Purpose of the constitution, by-laws, and rules and regulations

Finally, a sponsor should not consider their role to have ended when the applicant becomes a member. The next steps include introducing the new member to fleet members and helping connect them to the broader club community.

If you have any questions, please reach out to the Membership Chairperson via email membership@atlantayachtclub.org.
