Frequently Asked Questions
Application for membership requires a nomination from a current Kent Social member.
Nomination is obligatory for membership, but it does not confer acceptance.
Applications are evaluated monthly by the membership committee.
Membership renews automatically on a rolling basis.
One must be nominated by an active member to receive an application form.
To nominate potential member members can use the nomination form on the Kent social app or website portal and submit their nominations. From here, an application will be sent to the candidate, although an nomination does not guarantee acceptance, it is the only way to be invited to apply.
If you apply and don’t hear from the membership committee within six weeks, this means that you’ve been waitlisted. If you’re waitlisted, please don’t inundate us with requests for updates on your pending membership status. Try to see current members were willing to nominate you. Members are able to submit nominations directly from their Kent mobile app, the website, or by reaching out to the membership team. Nominations from multiple members will significantly enhance your prospect of becoming a member.
Our freeze policy allows members to freeze their membership once a year, and requires members be up-to-date on the renewal dues before freezing. Freezes must be a minimum of three months and a maximum of six months, and the freeze must be required requested no later than one month before your next dues renewal.
