ELIGIBILITY

 

This club is open to all individuals residing in California, and book clubs in the state of California that promote the literary contributions of authors of African descent.  This support includes, but is not limited to, club membership, book selections, and/or hosting/attending events. Any club wishing to join will have to fill out a questionnaire and pay dues. Membership is granted throughout the year.

We believe that every individual and book club will bring a specific dynamic to UCAAB, which will propel the mission of the organization.

We are looking for positive individuals and groups who wish to make a difference in the literary world with an emphasis on African-American authors. If your club would like to join our organization to help make it the best West Coast literary group, then we welcome your membership.  Please take a moment to fill out our brief questionnaire.  Completed applications should be submitted to ucaabmembership@yahoo.com.


MEETINGS/CHATS

 

Regular meetings of the club are held on the third Monday of every month, at 7:30pm via telephone conference where we discuss any pending actions from club members. Any club member/officer can submit items for the agenda. Club members are responsible for attending monthly meetings regularly. If any club misses seven meetings in a row without a valid excuse, as determined by the club bylaws, their membership would be brought before the club officers for determination of membership revocation. For this reason, we allow any person in a club’s membership to attend a meeting. We also meet in person annually or as determined by current membership. Location, duration, and meeting content will be determined by the membership by majority vote.
 

DUES

 

Dues of $100 from each club and $25 from each individual (if not represented by a club) are payable on January 31st, each year.  New members’ dues are payable at the time of membership approval and on January 31st each subsequent year. Membership dues are not prorated. If a club’s membership is revoked or they choose to leave, dues will not be refunded. All clubs need to be current in their dues in order to exercise voting privileges. Each club/member is responsible for any bounced checks and any fees associated with them.
