Cullasaja Club Membership Sponsor and Approval Process Guidebook

2 . MEMBER SPONSORS

Once the Preliminary Data Form is completed and received, the next step is to secure two sponsors who are current members in good standing. Again, ideally the new member prospect will already know a current member; but in cases where this is not possible, the Membership Committee and Membership Director will step in to help secure the sponsors.

3. INTRODUCTION OF CANDIDATE TO SPONSORS

If the candidates are not known by a current member, the Membership Director will contact current members based on locale, profession, alma mater or other means to match with the candidate. Once sponsors have been secured, the Membership Director will arrange for the candidates to meet their sponsors so that an assessment of their character can begin. A great way to get to know candidates is by inviting them to play in Twilight Golf or Mallets & Martinis; or simply invite them to lunch or dinner with friends. After the two sponsors have engaged with the candidate, each is required to submit a letter of recommendation which should contain adequate information detailing the circumstances in which the new member prospects are known to the member sponsor, and other information relating to the qualifications of the new Member prospect that may assist the Membership Committee in determining whether the new member prospect would be a good fit and desirable member of Cullasaja Club. This letter should be sent/emailed to the Membership Director and the Membership Committee Chair. 4. LETTER FROM THE TWO SPONSORS
