UCI members in good standing are welcome to use the beach park and ballfield, launch a boat from the boat ramp, keep a canoe or kayak on the storage racks, and fish and crab from the docks. They also receive a monthly newsletter and an annual membership directory; they may attend UCI-sponsored social events; and they have a vote at the annual membership meeting in February and the annual budget meeting in November. UCI also maintains security cameras and security patrols in the neighborhood. For additional annual user fees, UCI members in good standing have access to boat slips, tennis courts, recreation rooms, and horse stables. Residents of Ulmstead Estates must also be UCI members in good standing to be eligible for a pool membership with Ulmstead Swim Club, Inc. The benefits of UCI membership extend to the immediate families of such members who reside with the member.

Ulmstead Club, Inc. is run by six directors who serve as unpaid volunteers. The directors are elected by the UCI membership to 3-year terms. The Board of Directors selects a President from among its members. The president can be contacted by email at president[at]ulmstead.org. In addition, dozens of resident volunteers serve as officers, department managers, or leaders of specific activities. A list of these volunteers is online and at the back of every monthly newsletter.
