<VV> What has CORSA done for us?

[AeroNed at aol.com]

Bob,
 
I do agree that all chapter members should belong to CORSA. I would also  
like to see CORSA collect the local dues and pass that on, just like SCCA 
does.  I do not agree with Hank, that leaving CORSA is the answer.
 
There is a chapter filing fee for chapters that are not 100% CORSA members. 
 That fee is currently only $25 and the BoD have been discussing raising 
it.  CORSA has not been very vigilant in collecting the fee. There are some 
chapters  that actually cheat to avoid paying the fee. The chapters are also 
responsible  for filing their annual reports and declaring that they are not 
100% CORSA  members. The bottom line is will CORSA ever throw a chapter out 
for not  complying? I doubt it.
 
Ned

Bob,

The BoD HAS considered  requiring CORSA membership by all  chapter members  
several  times during my time on the BoD. I happen to  be in the same 
"camp"  
as 
Hank in that local members should be members of  national  club. However 
making it  a requirement is a different   story.


Thanks, Ned.


Allright then, lets consider some  compromise solutions. 

First, lets agree that the non-CORSA members are  getting something  
(insurance) at no cost to them.
OKAY? Is this  fair? If you say "no", then maybe something should be   
done..........

Then let's ask the following.....Do they know this?  Do they realize that 
in 
a way they are freeloaders?
Have we told them  all this so that they know? Do the local club officers  
even know  this? Can we do a better job of informing the non-CORSA members?

Then  is there any way, of seeking some kind of payment from the  non-CORSA 
 
members without the mandatory joining of CORSA? Charge the club a   basic 
fee? Charge the club a fee for each meeting and event where the  insurance  
is 
invoked? Ask for  donations? Ask the club to  charge a fee in the club  
dues 
to be remitted to CORSA?  It is  my observation that most, if not all,  of 
the 
local clubs are  solvent. Why not ask them to help out with the  insurance?

Can we  seek suggestions from the local clubs on how to handle this? Does   
anyone have any additional ideas? Why doesn't the BoD take some action  to  
solicit ideas and develop a discussion instead of just rejecting  the 100%  
choice? Are there any other options not considered  here?

Regards,
Bob  Helt
