<CORSA Chapters> Membership question -- 100% vs Not. Chapter level

[AeroNed at aol.com]

David,
 
That is a great program. Our club has discussed paying half of the dues for 
 non-CORSA members.
 
Answering for MCCA in Wichita
 
1) No
2) Yes, several times
3) No - it very well could destroy our chapter
 
Personally, I wish the answer to #3 was different.

Heart of  Georgia Corvair Club Chapter #310

1) Does your chapter require CORSA  membership? - No

2) Have you discussed 100% CORSA membership in you  chapter meetings? - 
Yes, most recently on December 5, 2009.

3) Would  your chapter support 100% CORSA membership? - No. 

Most of our members  feel everyone should join CORSA, but we will not force 
people to do so.   We would risk losing membership and driving people away 
from the hobby is not  the result we are looking for.  We did enact a new 
measure to promote  CORSA to new members in our club:  Starting in 2010, every 
new member who  is not a CORSA member will receive from the club a one year 
membership in  CORSA.  We feel CORSA is a worthy organization and hope this 
effort will  help grow CORSA's membership.  It's up to CORSA to convince 
them to  renew, and I feel most will.

Background -- After the most recent  discussion on requiring 100% CORSA 
membership in CORSA chapters, the board  is again looking at this issue.  
It 
has almost become an annual  rite.  the survey (almost 2 years ago) 
indicated 
a slight majority of  individuals would favor such.  That comment may bias 
some polls, but  I doubt it would this group.

What may change the discussion, introduce  a bias,  is -- 
What if CORSA offered a nonCommunique  membership?  Voting rights, attend 
conventions, other CORSA  sanctioned events ,  be eligible for several 
special interest groups  (who require CORSA membership today)  such as 
Stock 
Corvair  Group,  Performance Corvair group, and others  I think but do not  
recall precisely that Corvanatics also requires CORSA membership.   These 
special interest group meet face to face at the CORSA  convention.

Would that make a difference to your chapter in the approve  Questions?

(100% membership also means chapter insurance and benefit  filing fee is 
waived for all chapters so "goes away")

The board has  not made any decisions,  but have (re)started talking about 
the  above.  The goal is to make CORSA better.

thanks
tim  mahler
president,  CORSA
