Inquiries We Tolerate

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does the application process take?

Applications are reviewed quarterly by the Membership Committee, which meets when quorum is achieved. Quorum has not been achieved since the spring of 2026. We remain optimistic.

Can I bring guests?

Full Members may bring up to two (2) guests per visit, provided the guests are pre-approved, appropriately attired, and do not ask too many questions.

Is there a waitlist?

There is always a waitlist. The waitlist itself has a waitlist. We find this keeps expectations appropriately managed.

What is the dress code?

Business casual at minimum. 'Business casual' is defined by the Board and subject to change without notice. When in doubt, overdress. You will still be judged.
