Provisional Members

A member’s first six months are considered a Provisional period. Provisional members are invited to join Junior Auxiliary in the fall, with obligations starting for the following Junior Auxiliary Active year in the months of April and May. The Provisional period is spent attending meetings, touring projects, learning how Junior Auxiliary works, and completing special Provisional projects. Provisional members may not vote or hold office but are encouraged to participate and provide suggestions. Financially, Provisional members are responsible for dues. Provisional members must attend four out of six meetings and complete 10 hours of service within the six month period. At the end of the Provisional period, the board reviews each Provisional member to assess if they have completed their requirements for Active membership and votes to admit Provisional members into Active membership.
