Rotary Club of West Calaveras
How To Propose A New Member

• The prospective member's name is submitted to the Board of Directors on a New Member Proposal Form, through the Secretary.
  
  
• The Board ensures that the proposal meets all of the classification and membership requirements of the club constitution and approves or disapproves of the proposal within 30 days of its submission. The proposer is notified through the Secretary of the Board's decision. (NOTE: Until this approval is granted, prospects should not be informed that they have been proposed for membership.)
  
  
• If the decision of the Board is favorable, the prospective member shall be  informed of the purposes of Rotary and of privileges and responsibilities of Rotary club membership. The prospective member shall be asked to complete the application card, and to give written permission to publish his or her name and proposed classification to the club membership.
  
  
• Prospect's name is communicated to the club. If no written objections are received by the board within seven days following the publication of the prospect's name, that person, upon payment of an admission fee, is considered to be elected to membership and his or her name is reported to Rotary International.
  
  
• If any objection is filed with the Board, the Board shall vote on this matter at its next meeting. If approved despite the objection, the proposed member, upon payment of an admission fee, is considered to be elected to membership and his or her name is reported to Rotary International.
