<VV> CORSA Dues Increase

[Sarah Beltrami]

As an added FYI to what Scott said.  On January 10th the Board had a
conference call.  Within that call several areas came up that had to do with
the finances of CORSA.  During the course of the call a motion came up to
raise the membership dues.  The motion was tabled until April 1st (no joke
here) to allow those Board members who are not in favor of the increase to
air their opinions in the Communique as to why there was no need for a dues
increase.  The article has been written and will more then likely appear in
the March issue of the Communique.

 

Now a Board member has raised the motion again, not waiting until the time
appointed, which I might mention was his request.  Is this right legally?
I'm not sure.

 

However, I do know this.a dues increase will only by CORSA 1 year in help
with the bottom line.  So it could be in another year another dues increase
would very likely happen.

 

Three of your Eastern Board Members are opposed to this increase.  There is
way to much fat in the CORSA budget that needs to be addressed before a dues
increase is or should be warranted.  In addition, there are several new
ideas out there to generate additional revenue for CORSA.

 

Please feel free to contact me or any Board member as Scott has suggested.
This dues increase is not a good idea!!!

Hi Folks - 

CORSA Directors and the Finance Committee are looking at a motion to raise
the dues around $7.00 per year.  Let your directors know what you have to
say on the topic.  

Their email address is corsabod at corvair.org

Ask them pertinenet question(s) - provide your input and be heard.

Ask them for a copy of the specific motion to peruse the wording.

Do they have any alternatives - What is the life expectancy of this proposed
increase and when will the next increase be requested / how much.  Is the
membership worth the dues, if not why?  If so Why? Should dues be capped or
expenditures?  Should both or neither.  What are CORSA 's expenditures - you
are the membership and if you are interested - ask the questions.  We as
Board members work on behalf of the membership and support you the members. 

The vote will most likely take place in the next two weeks.  Spread the word
- Discuss at your local meetings if this fits the scheduling time frame.

If you want to help direct CORSA's future  - elections are upcoming so get
your statements ready and let me know if you are interested.  That's
includes our international members.  You DO NOT have to reside in the US to
become a Board Member.  Have we ever have a Board Member from abroad?
