Membership Information

The Atterbury Sportsman Club shall be composed of both military members and non-military members. A military member is defined as anyone who is a current, past or retired member of the Indiana National Guard, or current or retired member of the Active or Reserve Armed Force Component. A non-military member is anyone who does not meet the military member definition. Current ASC members who do not meet the requirements to be classified as a military member, but were defined as military members before 1 March 2015, will maintain their status as a military member indefinitely.

These membership definitions are written to be in the best interest of the longevity of the club in meeting our mission, vision, and purpose. If this approach does not work, this definition can be amended in accordance with article 8 of these bylaws.

Before a prospective new member can be voted on for membership,

  1. The club membership must be below 60 members.
  2. The target membership by classification is 60% military and 40% non-military.
  3. The membership director will maintain a list of military and non-military membership in a roster.
  4. If required-new club membership for military, civilian and current members transitioning to honorary status will be determined by vote during annual February club meetings or the nearest held meeting after February.
  5. Prospective military members will be placed on a waiting list in order of their application date when either above listed rules: a., b., or c. prevent a vote. f. Prospective civilian members will be placed on a list in order to track who is interested in joining the club. Votes for new civilian members will be held each year during the February club meeting or nearest meeting to February, if required. Prospective civilian members will be voted on based off of merit in accordance with the guidelines listed below in section 2.
