Membership
The Auxiliary’s Membership program conducts
ongoing recruiting to ensure the future growth and prosperity of the
organization. Unit members work
diligently to publicize and promote the benefits, objectives and activities of
the Auxiliary and seek out those eligible women who might be interested in
membership and active involvement in Unit activities. Units, Departments and Divisions vie in friendly competition
against one another as they work toward reaching their individual and
organizational membership goals.
Each Unit has a membership chairman who
keeps track of the membership, issues cards to paid up members, issue
replacement cards, turn in and verifies applications from possible new members.
Unit 2 has a board that lists all members
as they pay their dues. Members that pay dues before Veterans Day each year are
considered Early Birds. This board shows the current percentage towards the
National Goal so all Auxiliary Members of the Unit will know where the Unit
stands in trying to reach the goal.
Membership is the
key to having enough volunteers to actively promote the programs sponsored by
the Unit. When membership decreases, there is often a lack of active members to
pursue all the programs the Unit prefers to do. Then programs are shelved until
there are more active members. When there is an increase in membership, then
most or all programs are actively promoted.
Any woman
interested in membership should contact an officer of the Unit
or use the contact us link. Membership can be discussed along with the possible eligibility and required information. If you would like to meet and discuss possible membership, please contact us.
