Cullasaja Club Membership Sponsor and Approval Process Guidebook

ROLE OF THE MEMBERSHIP COMMITTEE

The role of the Membership Committee is not an easy one. The core of its work lies in the personal evaluations and judgments that are fundamental to the long-range success of the Club. In the final analysis, a club is no better than its members. Accordingly, we exercise great care in the selection of the people who lead and serve on this committee. At all times, discretion, mutual respect and maximum confidentiality are exercised. All communications between sponsors and the Committee are handled through the Membership Director or Membership Committee Chair. The Board of Governors and the Membership Committee will not list specific reasons when candidates are not extended an invitation. We depend on the good faith judgment of these seasoned members to determine who will be a mutual fit for Cullasaja Club membership. The responsibility of the Member Sponsors does not end when the Board invites the candidate to become a member. Thoughtful Sponsors play an important role in welcoming new Members...encouraging and helping them participate in upcoming social and athletic events, continuing to introduce them to new friends, and finding various other ways to provide a warm and friendly welcome to the Cullasaja Club family. Nothing is more important for the future of Cullasaja Club than the identification and sponsorship of new members, which is why we are most grateful to those who dedicate the time and effort to advance the names of worthy candidates or vet those recently joining our community.
