Membership
Membership in Professional Dimensions is by invitation. Potential
members must be working full time in a professional or managerial capacity.
Community involvement is looked upon favorably by the Recruitment
Committee. Membership recruitment goals are developed by the Membership
Committee, which strives to strengthen the diversity and leadership of PD
members and maintain a broad spectrum of occupations within the group.
Current members may sponsor someone for membership by filling out a brief
sponsorship form about the potential member and submitting it to the
Recruitment Chair. Candidates accepted by the Recruitment Committee must
then be approved by the Board of Directors.
New members are responsible for an initiation fee ($125), which is a
one-time fee payable when joining the organization. All members pay annual
dues (2007-2008 dues $335, pro-rated for new members during the first year). The fiscal
year starts September 1st and ends on August 31st. Dues are invoiced in
September and are payable upon receipt.
New member receptions are held several times each year, providing an
opportunity for new members to meet Board members and other new members. At
these receptions, PD’s history and committees are described and new members
are encouraged to get involved. Committee participation is the best way to
meet other PD members and benefit from membership in the organization.
Members are required to attend half of the meetings each year or to
contribute in some other significant way to the organization (such as
committee participation or Charitable Fund contributions).
