When a membership is purchased, an individual member will not have the option of associating themself with a club. Instead, the club must send an invitation to the individual who must accept. The individual must be listed within the club’s member directory for a club to send a club invitation. The club must follow all region policies and guidelines.

An individual must have a membership before accepting this invitation. If a club sends an invitation to someone without a current membership, the individual will be directed to purchase a membership before the association is complete.
