Full Membership (Cooperator)
Cooperative members enjoy a number of benefits which are paid for through their own contributions and dues with special collective group service privileges that are personally administered by other members or paid staff. Members that work as functional employees (officers) of programs or as commissioners must be clearly distinguishable from advisers, associates, beneficiaries, contributors, corporate sponsors, donors, investors, patrons and other persons who may be considered members.
Full membership is entitled membership, meaning members are granted a recognized honorific title under US law that they will use in their office (official duty). It is for professionals looking to emulate their career skills, enrich their horizons and pursue diplomatic relationships with corporate, foundation and political figures to solve problems being addressed or fulfill the objectives of their own nonprofit missions, or the ideas they represent. To become an entitled member, that is an employee-owner you need to actually join the organization, take our oath, sign the NDA and a great number of other things online to adjust your position, the entire process may take a month or as much a a year. To join you can be invited, given a professional grant or you can submit a formal request, complete an application and invest a minimum of 5% of your stakeholder share in the cooperative (currently that amount is $500 USD) and start paying the dues.
As of October 2022 the minimum fully privileged "active status" Globcal International membership is provided for $1,000 per year or $100 per month, only active members can vote for members of the commission, receive work assignments, organize events or create fundraisers. Fifty percent of an active member's annual donation subscription is applied to provide membership services and the other 50% is applied toward the cancellation of 10% of their cooperative stake each year based on its value at the time they initiated their membership. The annual membership cost which must be paid in advance each January, is not tax-deductible as a donation, but may be deducted in its entirety or in part for the current year if the member does not earn an equivalent amount during the course of the year from their activity in the cooperative as a member.
New and current members that pay their membership contributions on time for 18 consecutive months and remain in good-standing are entitled to hold office and may vote in the General Assembly. Globcal International members have access to pursue awards resulting in more than 25 legal titles in the United States and more than 1,000 honorary commissions worldwide. We have many members that have joined to become recognized as Goodwill Ambassadors, Kentucky Colonels, Commonwealth Ambassadors, ICSO for NGOs or to be recognized with other civilian honors from other jurisdictions.
