After your background check has been received and interview completed, your application will be presented to the general membership at a regular monthly company meeting for consideration.  You may be present at that meeting, but will be excused from the meeting room during presentation, debate and voting.  If you are not present, the FDMJ Secretary will contact you with the results of your application.
