Membership

Any member may sponsor a prospective member of the Bond Club of New Jersey (also referred to as the “candidate”) by writing a letter of recommendation to the Secretary of the organization.  The letter should include the candidate’s professional affiliation, a short job description, and the length of time the person has been involved with the securities industry.  A mention of the candidate’s link to the New Jersey market should be included.  Any personal information of note which supports his/her candidacy should also be cited in the letter.

The Secretary will read the letter at a regular meeting of the Board of Governors.  A unanimous vote in favor of the candidate by the Board leads to the Secretary sending an Application for Membership to the candidate’s sponsor.  The sponsor then explains to the applicant that he or she must return same within 90 days and pay one year’s dues via the website (currently $125.00) and have his application signed by at least two members of the Board of Governors.  Once these documents are received by the Treasurer, the candidate will be deemed a member of the Bond Club and will be automatically entitled to the privileges entailed therein.
