A Proposal to Allow Joint Memberships
Encompassing a decade of work and the Membership Committee has been promoting and advising Joint Membership at the Erie Yacht Club. The proposal almost passed last year and those who dissented stated that they didn’t fully understand. Therefore this page has been updated with much of the available research. is would be an option available to married couples regardless of membership class, except for honorary, special, and auxiliary members. A Joint Membership would give equal status to both married members rather than one of them being an auxiliary member.
All of the supporting documents for this proposal are listed below and they are in chronological order. Please note that changes occurred during the process. In fact, the membership committee is tweaking the proposal after our meeting with the Past Commodores.
