Proposing a Candidate

Four Required Letters

In addition to the application, four letters are required: one proposing, one seconding, and two supporting.

Letters should refer to the length of time the writer has known the candidate and their family members.  Letters should also note which programs the family will likely join and include relevant information on community and other activities in which the candidate is involved. When possible, letters should comment on the candidate’s character and how they may add to the Club’s culture.

The proposer has two options:

1. Email the four letters in one envelope to: ncwcmembership@gmail.com in one email (preferred).

OR

2. Mail the four letters in one envelope to:

While Being Reviewed

While on the waiting list, proposing members are strongly encouraged to introduce the prospective candidate and his/her spouse to three or more members of the Membership Committee informally at the club or elsewhere.

The Membership Committee meets periodically to review applications. The Membership Committee reserves the right to ask for additional supporting letters or information if necessary. The waiting list for admission to the club is approximately 2 years.
