The Bylaws (approved by the membership) define the Board; the Rules & Regulations govern day-to-day flying. Trustees are elected each year, meetings are open, and any member can bring an issue to the floor — that transparency is why a volunteer organization has thrived for forty years.
The club runs on volunteered skills — accounting, wrenching, teaching, web design, event planning. Members who pitch in are exactly who the Board looks for when applications come up for a vote. Consider this a hint.
Both monthly meetings are open to prospective members — and attending two is literally step one of joining.
