general members : what is an advisor : meetings : committees
To join the Death Valley '49ers as a General Member, come to the General Meeting at the Furnace Creek visitor center on Sunday, the last day of the Encampment. A Death Valley '49ers Director will fill out your application and introduce you to at least two other Directors who will also sign your application. These three Directors will become your sponsors. At the January meeting in Stovepipe Wells Village your name will be read to the Board of Directors and you will be given the opportunity to talk a bit about yourself so the Directors can know you better. This is called your First Reading. Your second reading will be at the very next meeting and again you'll be asked to come and stand in front of the Board of Directors and at this time a show of hands will be called. This will determine the acceptance of your nomination as a Death Valley '49er ADVISOR.
An Advisor is the next step up from general membership and into the higher workings of the Death Valley '49er Non-Profit Organization.
An Advisor is someone who has great interest in the desert and Death Valley, and likes to help in educating others about this wonderful land. Advisors gets involved in the preparation for ENCAMPMENT by participating in any number of committees in which they have an interest. An Advisor helps out in any way they wish during the ENCAMPMENT.
Six Death Valley '49er meetings are held in different locations during the year in preparation for the ENCAMPMENT. An Advisor must have the ability to make at least three of these meetings. The first meeting of the "new year" is held on the last day of ENCAMPMENT at the visitors center auditorium at Furnace Creek, in Death Valley. The other five are set by the board and are usually held in locations such as Stovepipe Wells Village, Ridgecrest, Lone Pine, Amargosa Valley, Bishop, or Kernville. These meetings are held in January - March - May - July - September - and during ENCAMPMENT in November. To see a list of our meeting dates and locations please visit our Meetings page.
