Engagement & Commitment of Membership
With 8,000+ members or 4,392 families, CCV is one of the largest member-owned private clubs in the U.S. The average age of members is 55, and most new elections are in their mid-to-late 40s. CCV has 1,569 members between the ages of 8 and 21, 700 nonresident members, and 449 members aged 80 or older who have been members for 45 years or more.
Nomination Process
The membership nomination process demands the dedication of the nominee, including connectivity to the current membership. In this time-honored process, CCV’s Board of Directors meets individually with each nominee, and the general membership is invited to provide crucial feedback about candidates before their election. This feedback ultimately requires that each nominee has formal, written support from a minimum of fifteen current members.
Member Matriculation
The number of CCV members is at an all-time high, and attrition continues to experience historic lows. When compared to the typical 5-8% average attrition in the industry, The Country Club of Virginia has averaged less than 2.5% over the last four years.
Waiting List
Due to increased interest in the community, CCV’s Board of Directors instituted a waitlist for membership starting in September 2021. Continued interest persists today, with over 125 nominations currently submitted for membership consideration. The timeframe that a nominee may spend on the waitlist is determined by the Board, with a current estimation of over two years before a potential election.
Legacy Program
CCV’s Membership Committee and staff are committed to identifying ways to engage legacy members and solidify their desire to remain a part of the Club community into adulthood. A popular program for legacy members was enhanced in 2014, which encourages the commitment to an adult membership at an earlier age through age-based pricing. Since its enhancement, 759 legacy members have joined the Club.
