The above discussion is all about the original club policy. During the General Assembly Meeting on December 9, 2000, the Club decided to categorize the membership into three: (1) Regular Members, (2) Associate Members, and (3) Honorary Members.
1. Regular Member - is a member who is a holder of an amateur radio station license or a holder of an amateur radio operator certificate and who may or may not be a member of Alpha Phi Omega. Only Regular Members are eligible for election to the Board of Directors; and only a member of Alpha Phi Omega from among the Board is eligible for election as Club President.
2. Associate Member - is a member who may or may not be an Alpha Phi Omega member nor a relation thereof, and who is not a holder of an amateur radio license nor a holder of an amateur radio operator certificate.
3. Honorary Member - is a member who is a holder of an amateur radio station license or a holder of an amateur radio operator certificate who may not be a Regular member but who, because of outstanding contributions to the accomplishment of objectives and purposes of CIRCLE 5 is conferred such membership by the Club. Honorary membership, however, does not include honorary membership with Alpha Phi Omega. An Honorary Member is a non-voting member of the Club.
