One requirement is that you need two current IRDTC members to sign your application form as your sponsors. Once your application is received, it will be reviewed by the IRDTC Board, and if everything is in order, you will be notified by the Membership Chair (Karen McElyea) of the date of the next Membership Meeting so you can attend and have your "First Reading" (see below).
"First Reading"
Attend one of our monthly membership meetings for a "First Reading" of your application, which serves as your introduction and basically gives everyone a chance to get to know you. (The Membership Chair will contact you with dates and times of upcoming meetings.)
Complete Volunteer Work
Volunteer 10 hours before your "Second Reading" (see below). The Membership Chair will advise you of available volunteer opportunities to be completed before your Second Reading.
