RMKC is always ready to welcome new members and new ideas!
How Can I Become a Member of the RMKC?
Each applicant for membership shall submit a completed membership application (see link below). The application will need the signature of 2 sponsors – a Board member & a General member. Each application is reviewed by the Board of Directors, & then presented to the General Membership.
An applicant must have attended at least one Club meeting before their application can be presented to the General Membership for a final vote. The application will first be discussed & voted on by the Board. If approved by the Board, at a following club meeting, the application will be voted upon by the Membership and the affirmative votes of 3/4 of the general members present and voting at the meeting is required to approve the applicant.
The types of membership are as follows:
Active membership is open to all persons who are in good standing with the American Kennel Club and who subscribe to the purpose and aims of the Club. Active members pay annual dues. To maintain Active member status, a member must either attend at least 1 meeting or volunteer at 1 club event per club year. Active members are entitled to vote at club meetings.
Associate Membership is for those who want to retain membership in the club but who are not able or willing to meet the requirements for Active membership. Associate members pay annual dues. Associate members are not entitled to vote on any matters before the Club and will not be considered for the purpose of quorum requirements.
Lifetime membership By unanimous vote, the Board of Directors may confer a lifetime, non-dues paying membership to any individual who has offered outstanding services to the Club or to the support of purebred breeding and/or showing. Lifetime members shall be entitled to all privileges of the Club.
Junior membership Open to any person 8 to 18 years of age. Entitled to all privileges of the club except voting.
