Associate Membership

An Associate Membership is a family membership available to those who are 21 to 50 years of age. This includes the member, spouse and children under the age of 21 residing in the same household. 

INITIATION FEE $15,000.00 @ $1000.00 EQUITY:

The Associate Membership offers an opportunity to make annual payments on the initiation fee. Initiation payments are subject to Florida state sales tax. Initiation fees and equity rates will be locked in on the date the member joins.

The following samples are based on a full 10 year buy in period:

INITIATION FEE CONDITIONS:

The annual initiation fee is cumulative and may be converted at any time to a Full Membership. Associate Members resigning before converting to a Full Membership will not be eligible for reimbursement of any fees paid to that date and will not be responsible for any balance of initiation fees remaining. Associate Members are non-voting members until they have converted to Full Membership status. Full Membership status must take place before the older partner reaches 50 years of age and the balance of the initiation fee is paid in full.

ANNUAL DUES:

Associate Members are required to pay 50% of the current annual dues.  The annual dues are collected on a fiscal year basis from September 1 to August 31 and will be pro-rated from the month of joining.  The annual dues are subject to Florida state sales tax.
