<CORSA Chapters> [Corsabod] Poll

I did not mean to cause a stir,  but simply to (re)ask an age old question.  At one time in the past, CORSA did require 100% membership of chartered chapters.  It did not last for more than a few years.  

I do not necessarily disagree with your basic assessment -- those willing to join will, those not won't.

That said,  the board was asking to get feed back for several concepts to make membership more affordable.  We thought if the rate was low enough (how low that may be is another question altogether)  then satisfying all the "make it 100%" advocates may be possible.  Of course,  making everyone happy is not possible.

thanks

btw: 

the by-laws that should be reference may be Article VI section 2. Chapters. "Groups of Society members who meet the geographic and membership requirements of the Society Chapter Plan will be chartered as a chapter of the Society. Organizational requirements of a group forming a local chapter, the responsibilities of the Society in this relationship, and benefits to the chapter will be defined in an operating policy of the Society called the Chapter Plan. There will be no charge to the local chapter, beyond dues of members, for the privilege of chapter status."

  Some could argue that the by-laws as currently written would not support a move of this nature - 


  The only needs it would satisfy is the boards need for additional revenue.  Those that wish to Join CORSA are most likely CORSA members or plan to be so in the very near future.

  Where in the below  - does it provide for the mechanism being looked at (or as some say have been looked at for years)?
