Welcome
Joining our organization is easy but it is not a quick process. Not everyone is cut out to ride with an association like LAMA; however, if an individual rider is interested in joining our chapter, he or she should do the following:
• Attend our scheduled meetings, rides and events.
• Display an interest and/or desire to be part of our group.
Process
When the individual decides to seek chapter membership, he or she will be offered the chance to become a “Prospect” of our chapter. Upon completing three (3) months as a“Prospect” the membership committee of our chapter will vote to promote the “Prospect” to “Probate.” If the new member is promoted to “Probate” he or she will be offered the privilege to wear the LAMA rockers. The chapter membership committee will vote to promote the individual to “Full” membership after the individual has completed three (3) months as a “Probate” member. If the “Probate” member is promoted to “Full” membership, he or she will then be offered the privilege to wear the full LAMA colors and to become a full member of LAMA and of the LAMA Atlanta, GA achapter.
