We encourage visitors to consider membership in NoVES.

The Ethical Society is a cooperative community, supported by the voluntary effort and financial contribution of its members. Members contribute generously as they are able to support the Society. Members also contribute their time and effort as they are able to the volunteer committees and projects of the Society. Members vote to elect the Society's Board of Trustees, to approve the annual budget and to approve policy decisions and other important matters, at an annual membership meeting and, occasionally, specially-called membership meetings.

After you have attended a few Sunday Platform meetings and have decided that you want to become a member of the Society, you can complete an application for membership in the Society. You can give the completed application to the Membership Committee chair, the President or the Leader.

Your application will be presented to the Board for approval at its next meeting.

The Leader usually interviews prospective candidates, to help them understand what the Ethical Society is and stands for and to learn more about what the prospective member hopes to find at the Society. Feel free to contact the Leader to set up this meeting, or she will give you a call after you’ve submitted your application.
