5 simple steps to membership

How It Works

Membership Process: Steps & What to Expect

  1. Step 1

    Submit a Membership Application

    • Reach out to any current committee member to request a membership form (or use the online application, if available).
    • Fill out your personal details (name, contact information, address, family members, etc.) as required.
    • Indicate whether you are applying as an individual or as a family (if family-membership is available).
  2. Step 2

    Application Review by BOD

    • Once you submit your application, the Board of Directors (BOD) will review it.
    • The BOD evaluates the application to confirm eligibility and membership compliance.
  3. Step 3

    Approval & Confirmation

    • If your application is approved, you will receive a confirmation (via email or phone), providing instructions on how to pay the membership fee.
    • Only after this confirmation you proceed to pay the fee.
  4. Step 4

    Payment of Annual Membership Fee

    • An annual membership fee is required to finalize your membership.
    • This fee is collected during the annual Diwali event for the upcoming year (or as otherwise arranged by the committee).
    • Payment method and exact fee amount will be communicated after BOD approval.
  5. Step 5

    Membership Activation

    • After payment is received, your membership becomes active for the upcoming membership year.
    • You will then be eligible for all member benefits, events, mailings and privileges of DFW Bhakta Samaj.
