YPO/Chicago Membership Application Process

Part 2

Key Step: Confirm You Meet the Membership Criteria.

1. Complete Online Membership Application.
   Now that you meet the membership criteria, the next step in the new member process is to fill out the Online Membership Application and send a copy of your organizational chart to membership@ypochicago.org. Once the YPO/Chicago on-line application is completed and sent, the Membership Chair is automatically alerted and your application will be reviewed by the Membership Chair and the Membership Committee. This can take between 4-8 weeks and is dependent upon meeting dates of the Membership Committee. You will be notified by the Membership Chair if additional information is necessary. He will also inform you as to the status of your application.
2. Membership Chair Contacts You.
   Once you complete the application, you will be contacted by the Membership Chair or the Assistant Membership Chair of YPO/Chicago. The Membership Chair heads the Membership Committee and sits on the Officer team. His role is to oversee the chapter’s membership to help facilitate the membership process for prospective members. If you have questions about the process, please feel free to ask the Chair.
3. Introductory Meeting.
   Once the Membership Chair receives your application, an informal meeting with you and 1-2 YPO/Chicago members (typically members of the Membership Committee) will be organized. The meeting, usually held in your offices, is an ideal way for our Membership Committee and Officers to get to know prospective members and for prospective members to get a sense of the YPO/Chicago Chapter. The representative members will discuss requirements and responsibilities and are available to answer your questions.
