Basic Types of Memberships:

Membership Type: Individual - Annual Dues: $40.00

Any man or woman may become an INDIVIDUAL type member of BCHC. This type is best for singles, or for persons whose family members may have other interests. Individual memberships have ONE vote during General Business meetings.

Individual members are encouraged to participate in such activities as our annual Spring Rendezvous, as well as the many activities of their selected Local Unit. (The Units also provide their affiliated members with news of local activities ... there's always something FUN happening in your area! One-year Membership includes subscriptions to our quarterly newsletter, BACKCOUNTRY NEWS, and to the newsletter of Backcountry Horsemen of America, also published quarterly.

Membership Type: Family (Shared) - Annual Dues: $50.00

All immediate family members are included in Family (Shared) memberships, and are eligible to participate fully in BCHC and Local Unit activities; ONLY TWO adults from each Family (Shared) membership may vote during General Business meetings.

Family/Shared type members are encouraged to participate in such activities as our annual Spring Rendezvous, as well as the many activities of their selected Local Unit. (The Units also provide their affiliated members with news of local activities ... there's always something FUN happening in your area! One-year Membership includes subscriptions to our quarterly newsletter, BACKCOUNTRY NEWS, and to the newsletter of Backcountry Horsemen of America, also published quarterly.

Understanding SHARED membership type: Not officially a type of membership within BCHC, this term is used by the Membership staff to refer to a growing portion of our group. Many of our FAMILY memberships involve persons with DIFFERING LAST NAMES residing at the same address. In order for each of TWO voting (adult) persons to be listed on membership rosters under their own last names, we must handle their records a little differently. (Note: BCHC must insist that both parties reside at the same address to qualify for the FAMILY membership.)
