COMMITTEE FEATURE

TheMember-owned structure of The American Club provides ample opportunities for Members to participate in Club life by serving on one of 19 Committees. These committees help chart the course for The Club by working closely with The Club’s Management to set policies and procedures that help to ensure The Club remains a successful, thriving and vibrant community. Membership Committee The Membership Committee (MC), consisting of no more than 12 Members, has oversight of all membership matters through the development of membership policies and procedures that are administered by Management. The MC plays a critical role in supporting The Club’s desired membership level and mix to ensure a vibrant and close- knit Club community. The MC acts as an advisor to the General Committee (GC) on Membership demographics, requests for membership transfers, new Corporate and Service membership applications, status of wait lists, etc. They also make recommendations to the GC on membership fees, dues, transfer fees and absent status policies. Additionally, the MC acts as liaison between

Members and the Membership Department for questions on membership fees, dues, payment plans, transfer fees, absentee requests and resignations. The MC meets on a monthly basis and works closely with Management to develop membership assumptions for the annual budget, as well as the annual membership marketing plan to achieve budgeted membership activity.
