What Happens Once I Apply?

Once you submit your application you will receive an email confirming its receipt and it is reviewed by our Membership Chairman and published in the next issue of Blue Prints.  Thirty days after its publication the application along with any comments from members will be sent to the Board of Governors for action.  You will then be notified in writing of the Board's action.  The process can be lengthy depending on when the next issue of Blue Prints is published...sometimes up to 6 months.  Online applications will result in your method of payment being charged upon submitting your application.  If for any reason you are not elected to membership, your application fee will be refunded.
