Membership Eligibility

Membership in SCAPR is open to aerospace industry personnel whose primary purpose is interfacing with government entities in Southern California and/or their major prime contractors and subcontractors. Members of FFRDCs and Government employees are excluded as SCAPR members (and may not attend as guests unless accompanying and approved by the guest speaker). 

 

Membership shall be in accordance with the categories described as follows:

Active Members – Active membership is available to marketing/business development and program management representatives of aerospace companies who do business in Southern California. Active members pay an annual membership fee due not later than Feb 28 each year.  Active members are entitled to participate in all SCAPR functions, receive all correspondence and vote in organizational elections. They may bring appropriate guests by paying the established guest fee for that event. Active members’ luncheon expenses are included in their annual fees. Only active members may vote or serve as Executive Committee members.

 

Inactive Members – Inactive membership is available to active members in good standing who wish to maintain their association with SCAPR. Inactive membership requests must be submitted to the Membership Chairperson and approved by the Executive Committee. This membership category is available only if the active member is unable (i.e., health, location, etc.) to participate regularly in SCAPR functions. The annual fee for inactive members will be equal to one-fourth of the active membership fee. Annual fees for inactive members must be paid before the end of the first quarter. Inactive members will receive all SCAPR correspondence and be eligible to participate in all SCAPR functions and bring guests as appropriate by paying the established fees for themselves and guests for that event. Inactive members cannot vote or hold office. Inactive members wishing to re-establish active membership must submit such requests in writing to the Membership Chairperson.

 

New members will be admitted and any membership status changes will be approved by the Executive Committee at the beginning of each quarter. The Executive Committee may remove those members who do not fulfill their obligations to SCAPR. Those members whose fees are two quarters in arrears will automatically be considered for exclusion from membership. Reasonable efforts will be made by the Executive Committee to allow delinquent members to pay overdue fees. Members may also be dropped for unethical behavior and actions which discredit the organization.
