Forming a new WBCCI Unit

[jimmickle]

Can't find a unit that does things that appeals to you? Have nine or more Airstream friends that share your views on what a unit should be to fit your lifestyle? Why not form a new unit? It only takes 10 members to start a new unit.

The first step is to get the required number (10) of members committed. Then contact the WBCCI office in Jackson center. They can guide you and put in touch with the Region Officers in your area.

Your Region is one of the key players in forming a new unit. The Region issues a Provisional Charter after talking to Jackson Center and keeping the IBT Executive Committee or at least the International President informed. To form a new Unit, you need to have Officers, a Constitution (just modifying the suggested one in the Blue Book to meet your needs is a start) and a program of activities (using the Unit Planning Guide can help). The Constitution and By Laws Committee needs to review the proposed Constitution to be sure that there are no conflicts with the WBCCI Constitution. Any recommendations they make need to be addressed. The Region Officers should be working with all the parties involved to be sure the process keeps moving forward. All these things take time. Jackson Center can be very helpful. The Charter is then approved by the IBT and issued, and you have a unit that fits your lifestyle.
