To foster community, individuals must first be brought together.

Any members who seek to be active members of the WNCAtheists community should provide other members with contact information.

A contact list will be made available at all WNCAtheists activities and social gatherings so that members may add their contact information to the list. A compiled list shall be made available to all members who have listed their contact information.

Those who consider themselves members should seek to further the basic mission of WNCAtheists, in fostering community with other non-believers, in Western North Carolina. All members are encouraged to be active members of the WNCAtheists community.

Any who consider themselves members may advance activities for the group with the purpose of strengthening or augmenting the atheist community. For an activity to be considered a WNCAtheists activity, a minimum of five members must be included in the promotion or governance of the activity. Further, all members of WNCAtheists shall be given the opportunity to voice concerns or opposition to the proposed activity prior to its promotion as a WNCAtheists activity. If at least three members voice opposition to the inclusion of the activity, members will be given the opportunity to vote on the proposed activity. A two-thirds majority vote for the activity will then be required for the activity to pass.

No member whose actions are not disruptive may be actively excluded from any activity that is considered an activity of WNCAtheists.

Any activity with the minimum number of members involved may be advertised or promoted as a WNCAtheists activity, and such is encouraged. Members initiating activities should seek the support and cooperation of other members in planning, initiating and governing those activities.

For such activities, those members involved in planning and initiating the activity may democratically select a leadership hierarchy structure for the purpose of the intended activity. Leadership roles for the activity will be selected by a majority vote among those involved in the initial planning for the activity. Such roles will continue until completion of the activity, or until a majority vote of participants in said activity changes those roles. Any member of WNCAtheists may petition such a vote, and all participants in the activity shall be given the opportunity to vote.

Having opportunities for members to meet and interact in social gatherings is basic to fostering community. Any member may sponsor a social gathering as a WNCAtheists activity with no minimum number of members required.

Leadership roles being unnecessary for simple social gatherings, no leadership structure will be required or intended, but an initiating member who can serve as a contact point for the gathering is essential. Any location within Western North Carolina that is accessible by the general public or privately accessible by WNCAtheists members may serve as a social gathering venue. Members interested in sponsoring a social gathering should consider other existing activities or gatherings for location and time to limit conflicts. Any social gathering sponsored by a WNCAtheists member and occurring at an appropriate accessible venue may be promoted or advertised as a WNCAtheists gathering.
