Answers to frequently asked questions concerning Club Satellites, Corporate Membership and Company Based Clubs.
Where can I find cost to Add New Member? In Us $$? Does that include District Fee?
Maxwell - The cost for a new member is $50. This a set fee regardless of district.
Chris:
What is the New Member Add Fee when the new member is a former member of a SLP {ie Key Club}?
Carol - There is no charge for a former SLP member when they join Kiwanis. Some districts still do charge a fee so you would need to contact your district to be sure.
What are the selling points/benefits for a company executive who might be approached to allow a Company Club? MIght the Company Club sponsor SLP's?
I found info on Corporate Memberships but is there a separate application form for Corp. membership? If so, where do I find it?
We deleted a member in February and she now want to rejoin our club. Is there a new member fee for her?
What ever happened to the "Think 39" program?
Doug - It would be best for you to contact our Member Services department to ensure that you are given the correct information. They will need more of the details to figure out exactly what they can do with this member.
Mariev- I have not heard of the program at the International level. This may be a program that is being done by your district. I would check with them.
There is a new membership initiative called Corporate Member. How does a club report this new category when adding a new member?
David Cox, Lt Governor Div 5 of MO/ARK District.
Can someone claify several questions I have about types of membership and dues for each?
Rex, I have asked Member Services to contact you directly to help answer your questions.
David, as Chris responded above, there is no separate application for a corporate membership.
On the membership application, the club only needs to note the membership is a Corporate Membership. If that member changes, KI only asks that the club report the change in information.
I'm a member in the Wisconsin/Upper Michigan district. I have had inquirie from 2 recent college grads about joing a Kiwanis Club. I know there are some special benefits for young professionals, but an not sure exactly what they are.
Can you give me more information?
Can a member convert their existing individual membership to a corporate membership since the option was not available when they originally joined?
Kathleen, I'm checking into this for you. I'll post an answer here asap. Good question!
Lloyd, I'm gathering some fresh information to address your question - I'll post a resopnse for you as soon as I can!
Lloyd, currently, special benefits apply to graduates who were members of Circle K International and/or Key Club.
While they still pay the new member add fee, their dues to Kiwanis International are waived for 2 years. There’s a box to check on the Kiwanis Member Information form (just below where you enter the new member's sponsor info) to indicate they were a sponsored youth - the dues invoice should reflect this waiver when you receive it.
If you load the new member using the KiwanisOne Member Management tool, there's also a checkbox in the Kiwanis History section (very first section) to indicate that the individual was a sponsored youth. You won't be able to see this type of new member in your roster right away or print the invoice since it'll require special handling by Member Services, but the adjusted invoice will be mailed to you.
In addition, some districts have chosen to waive district dues as well for 2 years. Contact your district office to get details.
Kathleen, it's not an option to convert an individual membership into a Corporate Membership.
It was explained to me that the Secretary of the club will need to send in a Membership Information form with the information (company name, and the person who is representing the company) and they will pay the initiation fees to International and District.
Our club FArgo South Point is interested in calling on businesses to recruit members and are wondering about the corporate membership probram
Is the Corporate Membership fee the same as an individual's?
I found no answers as to what to bill a new corporate member. Isn't there a standard fee set? I went to a seminar at the convention that touched on it, and showed a power point slide that indicated charges would be based on # of employees. but there was no handout. I need help please.
Thank you!
I would like to use the corporate membership in our club's recruitment efforts, but like Linda Sheets (see her 9/20/10 posting) I have no idea as to a fee structure. Is this fee achedule avalaible?
