Since 2007, the Jean & Francis Madeira Award has been funded exclusively through BCRI's membership fees. Premium Membership options allow members to pay an annual fee that provides discounts on BCRI events while funding the Madeira Award each year!
The Premium Member program expanded to three levels:
The complimentary Brown Bear membership is exclusively available to alumni who graduated from Brown's undergraduate or graduate programs within the last 5 years,
College Hill membership is for alumni & friends at $40 per year, and
Ever True membership is for alumni & friends at $100 per year, providing greater support for the Madeira Award.
Premium members are given advanced notice to limited capacity events as well as discounted admission to all club events. 100% of your membership supports the Madeira Award. It is tax deductible to the extent that your taxes allow. The membership term was standardized and now runs from July 1 through June 30, regardless of date joined.
All alumni are welcome to attend BCRI events and to subscribe to our event emails. General BCRI membership automatically includes alumni who live in the Rhode Island area and is available through opt-in subscription.
For questions about membership contact Judy Safian, Membership Chair, at judysafian@gmail.com.
Thank you for supporting the Brown Club of Rhode Island with your membership!
