Membership Levels

Rocky Mountain Renegades RC is being built as a family friendly, community minded riding club centered on responsible group riding.
Through winter 2026–27, the focus is on building the founding group and preparing the membership structure for a Spring 2027 launch.

Membership Path

The membership path is structured on purpose. Riders can begin as a Guest, progress through Associate / Family or Prospect status where appropriate, and earn Full Riding Member status through conduct, reliability, participation, and required approval.

Guest

For people getting to know the Club and its expectations before entering a formal membership path.

Access: approved introductions, meetups, or future public activity by invite and leadership approval.
Expectations: respectful conduct, follow ride instructions, represent yourself well.
Notes: no voting, no patches, no rockers, no club representation.
Advance when: consistent conduct, steady interest, leadership approval.

Associate / Family

For people who want to support the Club, build trust, and participate without immediately pursuing Full Riding Member status.

Access: may attend approved meetings, meetups, future events, and Club activities as authorized.
Role: support Club development, logistics, future events, and community activity as the chapter grows.
Notes: no voting rights on club decisions, no executive authority.
Expectations: uphold standards, follow the Code of Conduct, be consistent and respectful.
Advance when: reliability is demonstrated and a riding path is approved by leadership.

Prospect

For riders actively pursuing Full Riding Member status through participation, reliability, and proven consistency.

Purpose: structured evaluation, the club and the prospect build trust together.
Sponsor: each prospect must have a sponsor who is a Full Riding Member in Good Standing.
Expectations: attend required meetings, participate consistently, follow Ride Guidelines, and respect leadership direction once official activity begins.
Notes: no voting rights during this stage, no executive authority.
Probation: probation is verification, you prove alignment, attitude, and safety.
Advance when: sponsor recommends readiness and the membership confirms advancement by vote.

Full Riding Member

For riders who have earned trust through consistent participation, demonstrated commitment, and membership confirmation.

Privileges: voting rights and full participation in Club decisions, rides, and activities while in Good Standing.
Voting standard: all votes require 80 percent approval by show of hands, quorum is required.
Good Standing: voting and ride privileges apply only while dues are current and the member is not suspended or restricted.
Confirmation: advancement is confirmed through the club process and membership vote, not automatically.
Expectations: attend meetings regularly, uphold standards, support Club responsibilities, and contribute to community activity.
Representation: recognized as official representatives of the club and its standards in public.

Officer, Head Table Executive

Officers are Full Riding Members entrusted with governance.
Once active membership is in place, the Head Table will oversee records, finances, meetings, progression, accountability, and Club stability.

Purpose: records, finances, meetings, membership progression, safety, and reputation protection.
Leadership: coordinate Club operations, support future rides and events, and protect consistency and standards.
Accountability: officers model standards, may be reviewed for performance and follow through.
Trust: assigned to members who demonstrate fairness, discipline, confidentiality, and consistency.

How Advancement Works

Membership advancement is earned through consistency, conduct, reliability, and participation. There are no automatic promotions, and time served alone does not guarantee progression. Advancement is confirmed through the Club process, Sponsor input when required, and formal membership approval so standards remain consistent.

Voting standard: all votes require 80 percent approval by show of hands.
Quorum: quorum is 60 percent of eligible voting members present for a vote to be valid.
Eligible voters: Full Riding Members and elected Officers in Good Standing.
Confirmation: sponsor recommendation matters, membership confirmation decides advancement.

Registration and Patch Issuance

The planned one-time registration and processing fee is $200 upon formal acceptance into the appropriate membership stage. It is intended to cover administrative processing, Club identification, and patch-kit allocation. Patch issuance is structured so Club identifiers are earned and represented responsibly.

Initial issue: patch issuance begins only after the appropriate membership stage and registration requirements are completed.
Probation: probation exists to verify reliability, respect, attendance, and safety.
Full patch: remaining Club identifiers are issued only after probation and the required 80 percent approval vote.
Patch respect: patches represent the whole club, misuse or public misconduct triggers discipline.

Participation and Good Standing

Once active membership begins, Good Standing will require current dues, satisfactory participation, and no active suspension or restrictions. Good Standing will determine voting rights, ride privileges, and advancement eligibility.

Planned dues: $50 per month once active membership begins, payable at official meetings.
Missed dues: once dues are active, missed payments may trigger review and may suspend Club riding privileges until current.
Attendance: once meetings begin, repeated unexcused absence may trigger review and affect Good Standing.
Ghost status: temporary inactive status for work, health, or family, voting is paused and privileges may be limited.

Requirement: each prospect must have a sponsor who is a Full Riding Member in Good Standing.
Mentorship: sponsor ensures attendance, safety learning, and standards understanding.
Accountability: repeated prospect issues may require the sponsor to address what happened and what changes.
Limitations: repeated failures to mentor may restrict a member from sponsoring for a period.
