Membership Committee Chairman: (206) 723-2811
We welcome you to a tour of our facility.
A club is defined not by the boundaries of its walls but by the breadth of its members. At The Royal Esquire Club, members are our lifeblood. Active, astute and involved, they contribute in innumerable ways to the vitality of our Club and our community. Ongoing Club events are shaped by our commitment to understanding and responding to the ever-changing interests of members. Because building relationships with peers is perhaps the greatest privilege and benefit of membership in the Club, we’ve established special events and professional programs to provide a setting for social interaction, lively discussions, and the sharing of ideas and values. From our Scholarship events and Black and White Ball, family events and speaking engagements featuring national and global figures, our programs continue to reflect the diversity of our membership and their range of interests.
In keeping with our overall belief in maintaining the highest possible standards of performance our committees look to plan and execute with both spirit and a dedication to detail.
Club events range from casual get-togethers to formal dinners, and are conceived with the kind of focus and flair that bring members together in congenial social settings.
Membership is open to candidates 21 years of age and older. Classes of Membership are designed to accommodate Associate and Regular Membership. It has always been, and is presently, the policy of The Royal Esquire Club in selection of its membership not to discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion or national origin. Candidates for membership must be sponsored by existing club members.
