Membership Information

How Do I Become A Member?

If you are interested in joining the NAGC you should email from one of the links on these pages and express your interest in joining the group. You will then be contacted by a member by return email. If it appears that the group can meet your needs, then you will be invited to meet with one or more of the members in person to further discuss your interest in the group. If the members feel the group can serve your interests, you will be advised of the time and location of the next meeting.

When Do We Meet?

We usually meet the third Saturday of each month. Meetings are usually held in a local Huntsville welcoming church. The doors are opened about 7PM for those people who wish to change prior to the meeting. A short business meeting begins about 8pm and then we have some activity or a program, or perhaps just a chat session. Meetings break up between 10 and 11PM. Some members might then go out to local night spots. On Sunday following a meeting, our group is invited to attend services at the same church, dressing in the gender of their choice.

What Are The Costs?

Annual dues or monthly fees are not collected. We do have minor expenses with the rent of the meeting room and some stationary supplies. A donation can is placed at the entrance to the meeting room. Donations to the NAGC are voluntary and depends on the ability of the member to pay. No person will be denied from or removed from membership because of an inability to contribute. Any contributions over the amount of actual expenses will be kept in the club treasury for future activities.

What Do I Wear?

Anyway you wish to dress is fine with the group as long as it is in good taste. Some will come dressed completely as their chosen gender and others will show up as their birth gender. Some will dress somewhere in between. As mentioned above, facilities are available for those who wish to change after they arrive.

What About Security?

We place considerable emphasis on security and confidentiality as these factors are important to most of us. Our meeting place is located in a secluded area and is not readily visible to the public. We always use names associated with our chosen gender and as a matter of policy we refrain from asking about a person's occupation or work place. In this manner we minimize the risk of providing information that could be damaging if it was given to the wrong people. Only two people in the organization have access to names and contact information (address, phone, and email)

Still Deciding?

That first step made toward joining the community is always scary and that is perfectly normal. All members had to take that first initial step so they all have some understanding about what a new member faces. There is little to fear because of our emphasis on security and confidentiality, so really you have everything to gain and nothing to loose. You did not make yourself the way you are, but you can take steps to begin a journey that will allow you to live in harmony with yourself and the world around you. Let us help you begin this journey.
