How to Become a Member of Women in the Wind International, Inc. (WITW)Women in the Wind has two options for membership. One is a full Chapter Member, the other is an Associate Member. Both require the applicant to be female - after all - we are a women's motorcycling organization! Below are the quick links - however - please read instructions below prior to submitting an application. NEW! Member Application (Chapter or Associate) - Click HERE NEW! Probationary Chapter Application - Click HERE NEW! Legacy Member Application - Click HERE Full Chapter Membership - You must first contact the local chapter you wish to join prior to submitting an online application. This level membership requires a valid motorcycle permit/license and the applicant must own and/or operate a motorcycle. Every chapter is autonomous in their operation of chapter structure, activities, finances, and membership acceptance. Full Chapter Members have all voting rights, wear any and all WITW logo products, invited to all International events, and can participate in any/all chapter related activities, and may serve as an International Officer. If you are not sure where the local chapter is, use the link to the right to find one close to you. If you cannot find a local chapter - consider starting a new one! NEW PROBATIONARY CHAPTERS must first contact our WITW President, Cat Grabowski, at: [email protected]. Alternatively, you may fill out the probationary application online. Our WITW President will contact you via the form. Once approved, we will add your Probationary Chapter to the MemberClicks system and get you started. To be considered a chapter of WITW a minimum of three women motorcyclists is required. Associate Membership is for those women who are interested in Women in the Wind, but maybe live too far from an existing chapter, would like to start a chapter, and/or for those women motorcyclists that would like to be a part of something great, just not ready to commit on a chapter level. We get it! Associate Members are important to us - we want to draw you closer to riding and joining a chapter - when you are ready! Associate Members are a direct member of Women in the Wind International, Inc and do not regularly participate in chapter activities, do not have voting rights, cannot wear the WITW back patch, or participate in chapter activities. However, you can proudly wear any of the WITW shirts or other merchandise sold by chapters. When an Associate Member finds a chapter, or starts a new one, her membership can be easily transferred to a Full Chapter Member. Legacy Membership is for current members only with 20+ years of membership - who have met the qualifications for Legacy Membership. See WITW bylaws for more details.
