Tucson Active 20/30 Membership
The Active 20-30 Club of Tucson is always looking to expand our membership and keep a fresh cycle of ideas flowing through the organization. Check out the frequently asked questions below.
Who can join the club?
Membership is open to community-oriented men in their 20's and 30's. Tucson 20-30 has never had female members, but there is a ladies chapter in the Tucson area. For more information about this club, visit their website at www.2030women.com/.
How does one become a member?
Prospective members are usually introduced to the club by current/past members, but unsponsored membership enquiries are also welcomed. Candidates are invited to attend one or more meetings after which they may submit a formal membership application. Successful candidates are then invited to a membership interview (typically 20-30 minutes) with the membership committee. If the committee approves the application, the candidate is admitted to the club as an "Active Associate", and after 4 months the membership committee votes whether or not to make the associate a full member.
How many members are there?
Membership fluctuates every year. The current club membership is at 18 members and growing.
How often does the club meet, and what is the format of the club meetings?
The club meets on the second and fourth Wednesday of each month. We generally have one social event and one meeting to go over any club business, with meetings running for an average of 75-90 minutes.
What are the time commitments?
We expect all members to attend at least 75% of all meetings. In addition, members are expected to attend all major events, and members appointed to committees are expected to participate in all related committee meetings.
What are the financial commitments?
Quarterly dues are $125, paid in advance at the beginning of each quarter. A 10% discount is available for those who elect to pay in advance for the entire year at the beginning of the year. Our national dues (to the national Active 20-30 organization) are $65 per year, paid in July, and come out of the quarterly/annual membership dues.
What committees exist within the Tucson 20-30 club?
The Executive Committee, comprised of elected officers and the immediate past president, handles the day-to-day running of the club. The club also has an elected membership committee, who review new applications and set/maintain the standards for continued membership. Each major event usually has one or more chairpersons, and new members are expected to serve on at least one committee during their first year of membership.
Does the Tucson 20-30 club support other 20-30 clubs?
We have a strong relationship with our sister 20-30 clubs in the Tucson area. Tucson currently only has one men's chapter Members of each club generally support one another's events, and we occasionally have social or competitive outings to inject some fun into the mix.
