The Club Commission Program is a way for ARRL Affiliated clubs to generate funds for the club by allowing their members to join or renew thair ARRL membership through the club. The club then receives a commission for membership. New members earn the club a $20 commission with renewals earning $5 each.

Hosting a membership night at a club meeting is a great way to utilize this program. Below are five easy steps for how to do so. You may adapt these to fit your club’s needs, but the basic process remains the same.

Step 1. Prior to your membership night, let club members know that at the upcoming meeting they can expect the opportunity to join ARRL or renew their existing membership applications.

Step 2. Designate someone to be stationed at the membership table to accept applicatons and renewals.

Step 3. Print out the ARRL Membership Application form from the ARRL website so that each member who wishes to join or renew will have an opportunity to fill out an application and select the membership options that apply.

Step 4. After gathering all of the applications and payments, fill out oneClub Reconciliation Form amd send the entire package to ARRL. Full payment for the application is submitted. The Club Reconciliation Form is available at the ARRL site as well.

Step 5. Once the applications are received by ARRL, they will be processed and the commission will be issued to your club.

After full payment is made to ARRL, commission is paid to the club.

Commission is only paid on Standard memberships, not Blind, Family, or Student memberships.

Complete program details, as well as the required forms, are available under the Club Commission Program tab at Affiliated Club Benefits.
