<p>I've got a simple question. If I was part of club (the first member) just before it was officially created and helped teach/mentor students during its beginning days, am I considered a "founding member". I feel as though simply being labeled as "member" would be an understatement. Thank you all in advance.</p>
<p>you are what you think you are</p>
<p>Bump. Is there any other opinions on this matter?</p>
<p>If you were part of it before it was really founded, I would call you a founder, because you helped get it started, get it going, etc.</p>
