Subject: Corvair Society of America¹s 2020 Membership Meeting

 

The Corvair Society of America held its Membership Meeting for Year 2020 on
the evening of Tuesday, November 10 via Zoom.  It lasted an hour and a half.

Presenters included Mike Hall (President), Jeannette Alberte (Membership),
Jerry Brown (Merchandise), Allan Lacki (Secretary) and Paul Sergeant
(Treasurer).  After the presentations, Mike opened the floor for questions
and comments.  

Topics included:

&bull          Providing more value to members by holding monthly Zoom
meetings and podcasts,

&bull          Improving communication between Regional Directors and their
respective chapters,

&bull          Reaching out to members, especially those who have no nearby
chapter,

&bull          Adding new kinds of merchandise for sale to raise revenue,

&bull          Adding PayPal as a means for members to pay their dues to
make it easier to join and remain,

&bull          Giving members a choice to have their membership renewed
automatically,

&bull          Giving members a choice to pay dues in monthly installments,

&bull          Combining the CORSA Facebook page and CORSA Facebook group
into one to eliminate confusion,

&bull          Giving public access to a sample of CORSA tech articles on
the website to hook-in new members,

&bull          Establishing an online archive where chapters can store their
newsletters for posterity,

&bull          Post CORSA board meeting minutes on the website

&bull          Opening up CORSA conventions to owners of cars other than
Corvairs,

&bull          Improving the CORSA brochure so chapters can use it for local
recruitment

A number of questions were raised, too:

&bull          How much revenue does the CPF raise through Amazon Smile?
(We¹ll find out).

&bull          What is the consequence when a chapter does not hold a single
meeting during a given year, as required by the Chapter Plan Procedure?
(No consequence this year due to COVID-19).

&bull          When will a final decision be made on holding the 2021
Convention?  (It will depend on the city¹s orders.  We anticipate a ruling
in April).

A video of the 2020 CORSA Membership Zoom Meeting is now available for
viewing on YouTube.  Here¹s a link that will take you there:

It is 1 hour and 24 minutes long. The first couple of minutes of the session
were not recorded, so it starts with Mike Hall talking about plans for the
2022 CORSA Convention in Peach Tree City, Georgia.  But aside from that,
it¹s complete.

Sixty-eight members were participated in the Zoom meeting.  Special thanks
go to CORSA Board Member Josh Deitcher, who arranged, moderated and recorded
the meeting.  And of course, we thank all of you who were there with us.
