Candidate Membership Materials

EVALUATION

During the waiting period, it is the Primary Sponsors responsibility to continue to engage the candidate and host them for activities at the Club. The candidate will be invited to AAC sponsored mixers. The Membership Director will notify the waitlisted candidate, and the Primary Sponsor, as soon as a membership position becomes available and the process can continue. At that time, the candidate will be given the Application for Membership to complete and return along with a non-refundable application fee of $1,000 . Action will not be taken on any application for membership until all necessary documents are provided to the Membership Director. Once the background checks and the credit checks are completed, the Membership Director initiates the candidates posting in the clubhouse as well as on the AAC website for a period of no less than 30 days. The Membership Director arranges a candidate interview event which is to include the candidate, spouse (if applicable), and one member each from the Board of Directors and the Membership Committee. This event can take different forms, depending upon the situation. Representatives from the Membership Committee will contact the three sponsors to ensure they have a strong relationship with the candidate and that all the information they have provided is accurate. Upon the expiration of 30 days from the date of posting and the receipt of all relevant application documentation, the Membership Committee reviews the file during the next scheduled monthly meeting. The Membership Committee determines whether to approve or disapprove the candidate and conveys their recommended action to the Board of Directors. The Primary Sponsor is notified of the Board’s decision by the Membership Director. The Membership Director will then reach out to the new member with next steps or inform the candidate of their denial. The new member and their spouse (if applicable), will be scheduled to meet for a mandatory orientation with the General Manager and Senior Leadership Team in order to activate their membership. An Ambassador will be assigned to contact the new member but it is still the responsibility of the sponsors to assist with welcoming and integrating the new member into the Club. The new member and spouse (if applicable) will be invited to attend an upcoming New Member Reception along with the Primary Sponsor and spouse. This is an important event for the new member to meet members of the Board of Directors, Membership Committee and other new members. Attendance is required and should a new member miss the first event they must attend the second reception or membership privileges may be affected.
