A change to the club requires a vote of all members, including adding a new member to the club. It is also a lovely ceremony for a new member to have an official and professional and welcoming into membership of the club and organisation.

The club has a script and process for voting in, and inducting new members to the club

It is done during the meeting and a badge is also presented to the new member at that time

No off-hand comments should be made about “voted in if you’re lucky” or “we vote you in so we can vote you out” - these jokes create doubt of security in the member
