Have you been inspired by our organization, but there isn’t one in your area yet? Would you be interested in starting a new chapter?
This opportunity gives you the chance to help out your community, with the support and experience available to guide you. Organizational chapters provide members the opportunity to network with local professionals, obtain and develop connections with other like-minded jeep enthusiast. Membership is open to anyone with a Jeep Wrangler or Gladiator.
THE BASICS
Each prospective chapter must have at least 3 members of the respective chapter to meet our organizational requirements and an active President. A President must be an ACTIVE Member because they will hold a seat on our National Board. All prospective new chapter members MUST submit an application and be financial in order to be considered. (New chapters with less than 10 members are waived from the sponsorship requirements of ACTIVE membership.)
- Expect to commit a fair amount of personal time to the club efforts at the local level.
- Have an organization meeting with other members who share the same level of commitment as yourself.
- Be actively involved in the community and the car scene.
Any new prospective chapter must be within a 3 hour proximity of another established chapter.
Once the aforementioned is completed, the prospective chapter would participate in 1-2 community events and/or functions. This allows a chance to see how the prospective chapter interacts with the surrounding community and the public.
Once the National board/prospective chapter believes they are ready to proceed in becoming an official chapter of our organization, the next step would be the request for observation. This will be conducted with one of the organization leaders and serves as a probation period; which at the end the prospective chapter will be evaluated. After successful completing observation, a formal vote is taken, this is voted on by the organizations senior leaders; at which time the prospective chapter must receive a unanimous vote. Upon receiving a successful vote that prospective chapter becomes an active chapter within the organization and shall receive all rights and entitlements of such.
