Per the Association's by-laws, up to 15 additional memberships may be available to applicants from the surrounding community. These are termed Non-Resident Members. Non-Resident membership openings shall be approved on a discretionary basis by the Board of Directors, with special consideration given to those who live close to or on Sonoma mountain and either:
- Grew up in Diamond A and now wish to join the Rec as an adult,
- Have a close family member who is a current Resident Member, or
- Have significant ties to the Diamond A community and its residents. (Please note, your application will need to be endorsed and actively supported by two or more current Resident Member Households. Please identify these members below.)
If approved, the first two years of Non-Resident Membership shall be viewed as a probationary period. Non-Resident members are expected to participate in scheduled workdays and volunteer to help with as many socials and events as possible. Following the probationary period, the Board of Directors will vote on granting continuing membership to Non-Resident Members.
