Application process Six steps. Two current members agree to sponsor the candidate and send a secure link for the biography and application. Both sponsors write letters of support. The candidate attends a Club meeting, preferably with a sponsor. A representative of the relevant membership subcommittee reviews the application and decides whether to interview. The Membership Committee then elects candidates at its quarterly meetings. The normal route is nomination by a past participant, through a process the organisation describes as confidential; the Lader family and the executive team also extend direct invitations. A limited number of others may be admitted after writing to the organisation with a bio or link evidencing professional contribution, a statement of interest and of the subject matter they could speak to, one personal reference (preferably a past participant), and confirmation that they have read and will comply with the confidentiality policies. Invited guests then choose which weekend to attend and are asked to register at least two months in advance so the programme can be built around them.
