Why Found, Not Just Join

Founding Member Benefits

Founding members don't inherit a club — they create one. Here's what being one of the first 25 means.

Founding Member Designation

Be permanently recognized as one of the 25 women who charter the Women's Club of Lincoln County.

Shape Our Programs

Founding members set the direction for our five GFWC-aligned program areas — from leadership to literacy.

Leadership Opportunities

Six founding board positions are open. Founding members have first opportunity to step into these roles.

A Voice in Our GFWC Path

Help guide our preparation to join the General Federation of Women's Clubs after our development period.

Build the Community

Establish the traditions, partnerships, and service projects that will define the club for generations.

Charter-Year Experiences

Attend every first — the first meetings, the first service day, the first celebration — as a founder.
