Cullasaja Club Membership Sponsor and Approval Process Guidebook

QUALITY OF MEMBERS

We welcome candidates with interests and backgrounds compatible with the diverse backgrounds and interests of the individuals who make up our club membership. We seek compatibility in the sense that we welcome people whose character, manner and demeanor will ensure social compatibility within the Club.

With these thoughts in mind, it is clear that to sponsor and invite a new member is a very personal process in which all involved are called upon to make personal judgments relating to character, cultural fit and personality.

“WE ARE NOT LOOKING FOR NEW MEMBERS, BUT WE ARE LOOKING FOR NEW FRIENDS WHO WILL BECOME FAMILY .”

In making personal evaluations and judgments to extend membership invitations, we rely on four groups:

SPONSORS

Any Club member may propose a prospect and there is no waiting period before a new member may sponsor a friend. Our vetting process, as displayed by the steps that follow, is performed before we issue an invitation to a new member, not after.

We ask sponsors to make a conscientious personal judgment before

initiating the membership process. Members should sponsor candidates they

are confident will enjoy our unique Culture. Cullasaja Club may not be for

everyone, and everyone may not be for Cullasaja Club. We are a Club of warm,

friendly, outgoing, people who leave our egos outside the gate and enjoy our

seasonal friendships in the wonderful Highlands climate.
