new members
***NEW MEMBERS: PLease do not pay your membership fees until your membership has been approved***
- Make sure you have read “What We Believe” and “Requirements for Membership” and you agree with both before filling out the application.
- Fill out the WACHE Membership Application below (make sure to enter an email address you actually use and check often). **Be sure to mark whether you want a Level 1 or Level 2 Membership on your registration form.
- After your form is submitted, our WACHE Board will review your application and check any necessary references. Our membership director will notify you once the board pre-approves your application (pending background check).
- Once the board pre-approves your application, our membership director will submit a request to our background check company, VeriFYI, for background checks. You will receive an email for each adult member in your family, with links to complete a background check. This must be done before your application can be fully processed. The background checks are $11.95 each, and and that is paid directly to the background check company.
- After receiving a clear background check, our membership director will notify you by email that your membership has been approved for WACHE.
- In order to accept membership into WACHE, and complete the membership process, you will then submit your $50 Non-Refundable Yearly Membership Fee through Paypal.
- These steps must be completed each year to renew your membership. The only exception is that the background checks do not have to be completed yearly – they must be completed once every 3 years.
