Membership Application
Please complete the following form. Each individual must have their own application.
Please note that your name, address, and telephone number, together with the names of your sponsors, will be published in the club's next scheduled Berner Bulletin (newsletter). Members will be allowed 30 days to file an objection in writing to any individual's membership application. The Board of Directors will review and vote on applications at the next scheduled meeting following the 30-day review period, or by written vote of the Board of Directors. Because of the processing time required (publish potential applicant, 30-day review, board vote), please be aware that once your application and sponsorship letters have been received, the BMDCA membership review can take from three to four months to complete.
You may apply for membership online using a credit card or PayPal account, or print and mail your application with a check.
If you have a question about new membership, please contact Jane Haefner, New Membership Chair, at haefnerjane@gmail.com.
