A new club policy and manual has been released and in order to become a recognized club at NASA-JSC all organizations (current or new) must abide by the new guidelines.
Purpose
Clubs promote and develop the interests and skills of their members in a specific area. Clubs can be competitive, recreational, or just social fun.
Clubs are required to follow specific guidelines outlined by the NASA Exchange-JSC.
Clubs are also required to have a strong following to sustain the club.
Clubs must appoint officers (president and vice-president) that are NASA-JSC badged. However, if more non-badged officers are needed that is permitted. The club officers shall develop a specific constitution dedicated to its club for its members to follow. Clubs must have a minimum base of 10 members who are NASA-JSC badged (this may include retirees who have a NASA-JSC retiree badge). After the 10 base members, the remaining club members can be comprised of 50/50 NASA-JSC badged and non-badged members.
Mission Statement
The mission of the NASA Exchange-JSC Clubs is to provide NASA employees, partners, contractors, and their families with the opportunity to learn, practice, compete, and socialize for fun and/or at various competitive levels while developing organizational and leadership skills of their chosen area of interest.
How to Start a Club
