Objective

To interest and involve members in building the membership through encouraging them to recruit new members.
It will also improve retention by getting members involved and enthusiastic about the organization.

Family Campers & RVers members can attain the following four levels by signing up new members.  New Membership counts are accumulative, starting with the official start date of December 1, 1994.

Counting New Members

  • Both the head of the household and the significant other will receive credit for the new members they sign up and both will become Ambassador Club Members and they will progress up the levels together.
  • Where personal follow-up, visits, joint camping or other one-on-one contact is carried out after a show but before a new application is signed – this new member shall count towards Ambassador Club requirements.  A New Member may also be a former NCHA/FCRV member who has not been a member of the organization for the past 12 months.
  • To obtain credit for membership in the Ambassador Club, the applicant shall complete the Ambassador Club application for each level.  They should list new members they have recruited and send the completed form to the National Office.
  • The Office Manager shall verify the names on the Award application and send the application to the National Membership Director.
  • The National Membership Director shall review all applications and advise the Trustees of qualified applicants.  Once and applicant has attained the Sapphire level, a file will be kept open by the National Membership Director.
