LIFE MEMBER

LIFE MEMBER

 I believe this used to require 5 Years in good standing, before it could be applied for.  Then I noticed after reading an update,  that it only took 3 years to qualify.  But it's not quite that simple.  One has to attend annual Sanctioned events.  And the icing on the cake, a National Event in the last 3 years when one applies. Apparently,  most don't do all these, to meet the requirements.

I first joined back in early 2018 and seeing that the Nationals event was in El Paso, I immediately made plans and after being a member for three months, I was headed to my first National Event.  I was a newbie and had no idea I just passed up my LRRP patch (1500 miles in state in a year).   Had no idea this would work out for my future Life Member plans.  Well here I am, a Three Year Member.. and now ..  a Life Member.

 

The criteria for Life Membership is three consecutive years of membership in good standing from the date of the Life Member application.  The member must have attended a CVMA sanctioned event in each of the three years and one of those events must have been a National Meeting.  Sanctioned event attendance must be entered in the member's 201 file within six months of the event.
