The Wilmington Executives Club

The Wilmington Executives Club was founded in Wilmington, January 12, 1949, and was originally an affiliate of the national organization, “Associated Clubs”. The motto at that time was Good Food, Good Company, and Good Minds.

From the Operations Manual of the Associated Clubs…1949: “This Club shall be a social, patriotic, and educational organization whose purpose is to entertain from time to time with men and women of national and international repute in the affairs of the world; to disseminate knowledge, to promote scientific inquiries and lastly to provide means of service, recreation, fellowship, and entertainment for its membership. Initiation fees and annual dues are $10.00. Only persons of good moral character shall be eligible for membership in the Club.”

We have operated continuously since 1949 but many changes have taken place in an effort to serve our membership. In more recent years we have gone to a lighter note. In 2012, we changed the format to be more participatory and engaging in an effort to develop a more collegial social evening with dancing, theme dinners and wine tasting formats.

We also updated our motto: Great Food, Great Entertainment, Great Fellowship.

Our tradition continues…
