Our organization represents roughly 300 year-round residents and is the quasi-government for our town. The board consists of five volunteer officers and general meetings are held 5 times a year. Anyone 18 years of age or older who is registered to vote in the Cooper Landing precinct and attends at least one meeting a year may become a member. Non-members are welcome during meetings.

If you are interested in becoming involved and serving our community, please email officers@cooperlandingcommunityclub.com for an application. Per our Bylaws, all nominations for 2024 candidates will close at the end of the September meeting. If there are more nominees than open seats, ballots of all nominees will be mailed to each member in good standing for an election to occur by November 1st, 2023. (A member in good standing is any adult registered in the Cooper Landing Voting precinct AND has attended at least one community club meeting in the last year).
