Volunteering at BIAC
Taking an active role in the operation and maintenance of the club is a great way to get to know your fellow members. Work parties are scheduled throughout the year and other volunteer jobs abound. BIAC members find they get to know one another better while helping keep the club in shape!
BIAC requires annual adult members (Out of State, College Break, and Quarterly memberships are exempt) to contribute 12 hours of volunteer effort per membership year (May - April), or pay an up front "buy out" fee of $250. If you fail to complete AND RECORD your 12 hours, you will be billed at the rate of $30 per hour, up to a maximum of $360. Hours RECORDED will be tallied on March 31, and invoices generated for unfulfilled hours prior to membership renewal. The 12 hours is prorated to the number of months of membership the first year of membership.
Learn about the volunteer hours policy changes of Feb 2020.
Please log your volunteer hours today! Although the membership year runs from May 1 through April 30, the volunteering year runs from April 1 through March 31, to give us time for year-end processing.
