Eligibility.

1. Eligibility for WMC membership is restricted to public servants as specified below:
          a. Active or retired Law Enforcement Officers, Firefighters, Correctional Officers, Probation Officers,           Bailiffs and similar Officers; and
          b. Judges, Magisterial Officers, and Prosecutors, so long as such persons are either actively           employed full time by a government agency or were previously employed full time by a government          agency for at least 10 consecutive years.

2. The above criteria notwithstanding, 10 percent of a chapter’s membership may be comprised of persons who are not eligible under the above public servant classifications but who otherwise meet the requirements for WMC membership. Further, it is understood that the loss or transfer between chapters of members who are eligible under the above public servant criteria may result in some chapters exceeding this ten percent limitation.

3. All WMC members, including prospects, must possess a valid motorcycle operator’s license and own and operate an American-made V-Twin motorcycle manufactured by a North American-owned company. The motorcycle must be properly registered and insured in the member's state of residence. Only one of the owners of a co-owned motorcycle is eligible for WMC membership.

4. A one-time new membership application fee is required for all new members.

5. The burden of establishing or proving eligibility rests with the prospective member.
