It was fun to share their conference and visit fellow committee member Bev Kennedy. Some notes I want to pass along: 1. Commanders report, one mentioned "members are dropping because we are not giving them anything they are interested in. " I sure hope this isn't an education or lack of problem? Squadron must deliver after the sale, "Join Because, because, because, then don't deliver" ? This is probably a bigger problem than we want to admit. This is a problem of "burnout!" This is solved by recruiting new members and asking them to be evolved. 2. Publish "Mintues" in newsletter. This would help members better realize there is a business side to the squadron too. And their help is needed. 3. One squadron uses their FUSA dollars to issue "Scholarships for Seamanship" which give each new member a free Seamanship manual when they join. They are given the place, time, and date when the class starts. They are getting good recruiting results with this program. "Beaverton Power Squadron" I've ask this squadron for a write up to share with others. 4. Bobbi Shaw, Beaverton PS, addressed the meeting with the following idea, "Retention is a legacy to the squadron." I nice saying, a great idea and worth expanding into a promotional program possibly. I've passed it on the MI group. Last but not least, we have two new members to the committee. I will be posting their data shortly, welcome to our committee: D/C Ron Lukens, AP (D17), Knoxville, TN D/Lt Kay Allen, S (D8), Ft Lauderdale, FL This means I will be working on assignments, again, and will post when completed. More about these two dynamic squadron members later, please join me in welcoming them ABOARD ;-) Bruce From SailPlay@aol.com Mon Mar 11 14:49:47 2002 Received: from imo-r01.mx.aol.com (imo-r01.mx.aol.com [152.163.225.97]) by linux20383.dn.net (8.11.6/verio) with ESMTP id g2BJnlu03308; Mon, 11 Mar 2002 14:49:47 -0500 Received: from SailPlay@aol.com by imo-r01.mx.aol.com (mail_out_v32.5.) id g.47.19894312 (16637); Mon, 11 Mar 2002 13:47:26 -0500 (EST) From: SailPlay@aol.com Message-ID: <47.19894312.29be55be@aol.com> Date: Mon, 11 Mar 2002 13:47:26 EST To: memcom@usps.org CC: meminv@usps.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: AOL 4.0 for Windows 95 sub 9 Subject: [Memcom] 3 % Growth Award Sender: memcom-admin@usps.org Errors-To: memcom-admin@usps.org X-BeenThere: memcom@usps.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.0.7 Precedence: bulk List-Help: List-Post: List-Subscribe: , List-Id: List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Ahoy, Thanks to Earl Rose, the squadrons and districts that were recognized at their fall conference for meeting or exceeding the National Growth of 3% is now on the web. Check it out. I noticed several districts had not a single squadron on the list? As we discussed in our last closed meeting, this year each squadron and district that does have growth, but not 3 %, will get a letter congratulating them and to motivate them to continue their efforts. This way all squadron and district with growth will be recognized. BUT, I'm wondering if there will be ANY? This list will be far shorter this year, unless some heavy duty recruiting and / or retention takes place. We have our jobs cut out for us, that's for sure!

At break time, members answer questions and use hands-on educational aids to assist anyone with a problem. ----------- (Fact) Lots of personal contact has the effect of increasing members recruited from the Public Boating Course. (Read More) In every one of our classes and we're finding that approximately one-third become members. It takes an enthusiastic approach to interest people in joining. The ice breaker is always personal contact. ----------- (Read) A public boating course media blitz is an effective education promotional tool... (Read More) A "media blitz" starting 6 weeks prior to the start of the course that includes daily and weekly paper, TV and radio station is a good place to start. Supplementing this with the addition to posters and pamphlets in every marina, yacht club and marine supply store, libraries, schools and local stores will increase course participation rates. >> In a message dated 03/15/2002 2:51:04 PM Pacific Standard Time, marshburn@greenvillenc.com writes: << If you choose to accept this challenge, the proposed deadline for generating the 10-15 tidbits would be 29 March with the selection of the top 25 by 5 April. >> From SailPlay@aol.com Tue Mar 19 13:22:22 2002 Received: from imo-d06.mx.aol.com (imo-d06.mx.aol.com [205.188.157.38]) by linux20383.dn.net (8.11.6/verio) with ESMTP id g2JIMMu23522 for ; Tue, 19 Mar 2002 13:22:22 -0500 Received: from SailPlay@aol.com by imo-d06.mx.aol.com (mail_out_v32.5.) id g.f3.18149920 (4250) for ; Tue, 19 Mar 2002 12:20:31 -0500 (EST) From: SailPlay@aol.com Message-ID: Date: Tue, 19 Mar 2002 12:20:31 EST To: memcom@usps.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: AOL 4.0 for Windows 95 sub 9 Subject: [Memcom] Welcome New Members Sender: memcom-admin@usps.org Errors-To: memcom-admin@usps.org X-BeenThere: memcom@usps.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.0.7 Precedence: bulk List-Help: List-Post: List-Subscribe: , List-Id: List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Let's WELCOME ABOARD two new members to the committee: D/C Ronald H.

Time continues with many things going on. Individual monthly activity reports are due by the 10th of the month and are sent to me. Each committee member is to file a report even if there is nothing to report. Martha sent one this month. Thank you. At least I heard from her. I compile all your reports and send them to Frank McHugh, R/C of our committee. Frank then reports to Ernie regards any matter that should be discussed at a pending OCom meeting. Email works best. My email address is : sailplay@aol.com Conference reports go directly to Frank. When attending a conference please file a report regards membership activities that took place. Questions, ideas, etc. that came up. Remember, we are always looking for great ideas/programs to share nationally. If attending a conference other than your own district, you should first make an inquiry to the D/C to advise them you'd like to attend. Offer any help on behalf of our committee to the D/C to help make the conference a success. Brochures, forms, etc.. All our members are on email and our email list. Remember, the email list address is: memcom@usps.org When you send a message to this address, everyone on the committee receives it, including our department head, V/C Ernie Marshburn. It's a closed list and only members of the committee are members of this list. I handle the administration of the list so I know who is on it. Only members of the list can post emails to it, all others get bounced to me and I then decide if it should be allowed for our group or not. Spring is upon us, Finally! Many conferences, district and squadron change of watches will be taking place. I will be asking HQ staff to compile a new list of district membership chairs sometime in the near future. Possibly early May. This way the list that is on our web site will be current. If you have any questions, my phone number is : 425-348-0739, Cell 253-988-4333, and of course you have my email address as well. We have our work cut out for us, membership numbers are down across the board ytd. But with your help, we can and should make growing USPS FUN.

The format for this is outlined in the attached spreadsheet but basically what we would be looking for is a series of quick tidbits followed by more extensive information. The tidbits should be limited to a short sentence and the additional information should be no longer than a paragraph. Moreover, the “total concept” for the tidbit must be completely described within the additional information, i.e. paragraph. No referencing of other information will be allowed except for the inclusion of a URL. However, the primary objective is to make these tidbits short, stand alone, and self-contained. To help explain the concept, launch the attached Powerpoint presentation and run it. It contains a series of science facts followed by additional information that I cut and pasted together. However, this is an example of what I have in mind. Once the first Powerpoint screen is displayed, you can click on the (read more) button, actually anywhere on the screen, to see the impact of the additional pop-up information. Successive clicks take you thought the other science facts. If your committee is up to this challenge, I would like to ask if each Membership team would be willing to come up with 10-15 membership tidbits + the additional information that is specifically related to their respective teams. The goal would be to collect three sets, each dealing with a subset of your committee, i.e. membership, membership involvement, and youth activities. Collectively, we would then want to merge all team suggestions into a common spreadsheet and then select the top 25. For the moment, I will leave to your imagination how we would propose to use this information but rest assured that the Membership and Member Involvement Committee would have a lot of front page space as a result. If you choose to accept this challenge, the proposed deadline for generating the 10-15 tidbits would be 29 March with the selection of the top 25 by 5 April. I would also request that each of us are cc’d on any submissions to help each of us cut down on duplication of effort should more than one person come up with the same tidbit concept. I would also propose that you, Roberta, Laura, Bruce, and I serve as the Selection Committee (again, assuming that your committee chooses to accept this challenge). This could be a fun project and it may turn out to be the kind of “out-of-the-box” tool that will make a difference where USPS membership is concerned. It would also serve as another way to help us promote and proactively demonstrate that the focus of our administration is “membership”. Ok, enough chatter. The four of you need to put your heads together and determine if your schedules and current projects would permit you to engage in this proposed one. Also, it’s ok if you choose not to accept the mission. Let me know what you think.

Tid Bit: Enthusiam Highlights "FUN MORE The most important thing is making the students in our public classes feel like you are having such a great time with USPS that they will miss out if they don’t join. 2. Tid Bit USPS Save Lives MORE According to the U.S. Coast Guard, a boater without "Safe Boating Education" is 5 times more likely to die on the water. 3. Tid Bit Recruiting is about being "Personal." MORE Squadron’s experience incredibly successful recruiting with the personal contact. 15-20 members attending and helping out at public classes results in many students signing up to join. 4. Tid Bit Media Blitz Equals Squadron Growth MORE Doing a media blitz 6 weeks before a public class attracts students to classes. Large classes adds many safer boaters to local waters. One squadron signed up 50 new members in one year by teaching over 500 students safe boating. -------------------------- How about the rest of the committee's members. Any suggested "Tid Bits?"

I think we should all volunteer for a time at each table. For instance, if you work the membership table on Thursday, you will work the First Timers' table on Fri. OK? We need workers from 0800 to 1700 on Thursday (one or two workers each hour at each table.) Hours on Friday are 0800 to 1600 (one or two workers each hour at each table.)

If you are on the membership recruiting committee and or the Youth activities committee, please volunteer for the membership table. (Those members who have already volunteered disregard this.) If you think I was too curt in soliciting volunteers, my apologies. I find that it is very difficult to recruit volunteers ahead of time for the table and have everything in place when we arrive. If it is done ahead, then we all know our schedules and can plan accordingly.

See Section 22.17 of the operations manual revised 9/23/01 NOTE: The use of "Junior" is for dues category purposes only. "Family Membership" includes both Adult and Junior. Yes, a "Family Member" can earn a "Family Merit Mark." This includes both Adult and Junior Family members as noted above. See Section 16.1 of the operations manual revised 9/23/01.

With the present arrangement, a typical squadron might have to chase after 36 non or late renewals, whereas, if spread out over the course of a whole year, on a monthly basis, the squadron may only have to deal on average, with three members at a time. Of course there are a host of other considerations that would have to be addressed. It will be interesting to hear comments from our committee members.

Hello,

In the Seattle Sail and Power Squadron we have really tried to focus on
recruiting new members, and getting them active quickly.  It seems to
working - we're getting several new ACTIVE members each boating class.  

First - at the very first Public Boating Class (or BoatSmart) we have a
bunch of squadron members show up - to help sign up people - and to talk
about the squadron.

At the second to last class we have our Memberhship chair go and talk about
joining - benefits, and how much it costs.  He explains that anyone who
passes the test can join.  He reminds them to bring a checkbook to the test
- in case they want to join.

At graduation night we have a bunch of people attend.  Also we have
refreshments - cookies and juice.  They help correct the tests, etc.  They
also chat with the people who have finished the test.  They can sign up new
members then.  We also have a new member package.  A bunch of stuff for
people who join.  Paperwork to fill out for name tags, etc.  Booklettes
about safe boating, lifejackets, etc.  A coupon to attend our monthly dinner
meeting for free (normally $18).  A roster, Pilot (our monthly newsletter).
And any other stuff we can find - maybe some stickers or something from a
boat shop...

The next week we have a new member orientation.  Same time, same place.
It's just like we extend the class one week.  This meeting is announced
during the class so all the students can plan on it - and attend if they
join.  We have refreshments again.  The bridge talks about what the squadron
is and does.  We answer questions, explain what a  rendezvous is, how to go,
what to expect, etc.

Our last public boating class we had something like 50 students, and about
15 or 18 joined the squadron.  I've been in the Squadron about 6 years, and
at least 1/2 the people at dinner meetings and rendezvous have joined since
I did.  SO I think we're doing someting right.

ps... I've been the P/C for a week!

Go to Membership web page and follow links to "Membership Reports." The Nat.Sec'y Rpt is not in my email box yet, but looking at the totals from the stat report membership is falling behind last year's numbers. March membership was down 1762 members YTD, April is down 1897. From this data I'd say recruiting has fallen off the pace set last year and the year before. Take a look at your assigned districts and see how they are performing. April to April there are 5 districts growing. The four are D10, 18, 27, 33, and 90.

The 400 and some reinstatements brought back is making a big difference right now. With the new mailing going out to non-renewals for the last 5 years could it bring back 2,000? Possibly. We'll see. Retention is a HOT TOPIC. Let's do our very best to support the districts, squadrons in successful member renewal campaigns. Remember, it takes a squadron (TEAM) to keep members, NOT just a committee. Some thoughts. Give our customers what they joined for, education, boating, interesting meetings, and having FUN.

Don't teach in uniforms or blazers, instead wear casual golf shirts with sq / USPS logos. Except Cdr and SEO first and last nights? 2. Try to get all age groups of the squadron involved. Active scouts can help teach marlinespike, young kids can help turn overheads, so try to have all age groups represented at classes. 3. Get your new members to teach areas they have expertise in, ie, trailer boating, small boat experience, maybe repair issues ie engine or fiberglass. 4. On exam night try to have 1 grader for every 3 students. This allows more one on one time, reviewing the exam, giving a refresher exam if needed, and just spend more time with each student. 5. Start recruiting the week before the exam, don't wait until exam night. Pass out applications, talk about cost, hand out copies of the newsletter highlighting when Seamanship is starting, pass out cruise schedules with contact info, and remind the students to bring their checkbooks to the final exam night. 6. Retention idea, call members on the birthdays This is a real hit. It's great to be remembered, especially by the squadron ;-) Your appreciated, thank you for being a member! These tips were found in a recent email. I wanted to list them again because there are some great ideas in these tips. Not all will work for all squadrons, but hey, it's the ideas that works for at least one squadron. Maybe something here will work for yours too ;-) Thanks Bonnie, Bruce Stf/MemCom Recruiting From SailPlay@aol.com Tue May 14 17:39:46 2002 Received: from imo-r09.mx.aol.com (imo-r09.mx.aol.com [152.163.225.105]) by linux20383.dn.net (8.11.6/verio) with ESMTP id g4ELdkT02922 for ; Tue, 14 May 2002 17:39:46 -0400 Received: from SailPlay@aol.com by imo-r09.mx.aol.com (mail_out_v32.5.) id g.125.109a86a7 (4199) for ; Tue, 14 May 2002 16:43:20 -0400 (EDT) From: SailPlay@aol.com Message-ID: <125.109a86a7.2a12d0e7@aol.com> Date: Tue, 14 May 2002 16:43:19 EDT To: memcom@usps.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: AOL 4.0 for Windows 95 sub 9 Subject: [memcom] Updated List - District MemComChs Sender: memcom-admin@usps.org Errors-To: memcom-admin@usps.org X-BeenThere: memcom@usps.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.0.7 Precedence: bulk List-Help: List-Post: List-Subscribe: , List-Id: For members of the national committee List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Ahoy, Lena sent me an updated listing of DAO's and MemComChs..

Thank you Lyle and your TEAM! It is ready for squadrons and districts to use by going to our web site and clicking on "programs," there are two links on the home page. Where would we be without our Gal, Carolyn. Thank you Carolyn ;-) She ordered materials for the membership table, set it up, put out all the displays, scheduled members through the days Thursday and Friday and we sold over $125.00 of materials, gave away a ton of free "stuff" and then packed it up and got everything ready for shipping. Wow! Of course we need to thank the MI and Youth committees too for all their materials that added nicely to the table. And for their support in manning the table during the 16 -17 hours it's open for business. Thanks to Roberta and Jack Wilson there were over 300 coloring books that were given away! Wow! A lot of kids will certainly be busy this summer while boating! It really is a lot of FUN manning the Membership Committees table AND Frist Timers table. Be sure not to miss it in Des Moines by signing up early. As "Membership Committees" we need to schedule some of our time on the membership committees table AND first timers! Please save a couple of hours for these activities or you'll miss the FUN of meeting many members, first timers and others who visit with us at this cool spot at the Governing Boards. It really is a kick! It really is the BEST Place in Town.

Her reason is too many articles might lead to apathy about reading them? She suggests writing 6 and make them impact and important issues that appeals to the reader. Of course she suggests this schedule for routine commications and not for "Late Breaking News" or other such urgent messages. I like the idea. I would like your thoughts on this too. We currently have enough article to cover issues thur October. Depending on how you all feel on the 6 vs 12, new assignments will be scheduled. Meanwhile, Bev will be up to write an article for the NOV issue of The Ensign. Stay tuned. Let me know your thoughts ASAP. Also, Carolyn, need you to write an article for the late summer issue about the Membership Table at Des Moines to advertise it being there and to visit for purchase needed forms etc. saving on shipping and handling fees.

If you recall, the sequence in Houston was, MR - MI - YA. In Orlando it will be, YA - MR - MI. Since each committee will be limited to 30 minutes for their presentations, I suggest that you have your presenters give presentations that deal with the key elements of the message they wish to convey. We can include back up information in our hand-outs that we distribute to all the attendees. I think we should have at least 200 copies of our hand-outs.

As you converse with your districts, try to work in Power of One. V/C Marshburn's article in The Ensign is a good reference to getting all our members involved in this important area at all levels. Let's bring this up each time we communicate with our assigned districts. All members of USPS are members of the Membership Committees. Power of One. Put it to work. Use it on a regular basis.

Please read it. Bring this strategy up with your assignments. Each squadron should be sitting down right now and plotting their course to achieve 3% membership growth. Don't wait til fall, lets work with every district to encourage them to work with every squadron now. Remember, losses can discourage our members. The July reports will show up early August and will show our losses. By having a plan now we can focus on building membership. Keep in mind new members don't have the mind set of our retention issues so build on the positive aspects of USPS Membership. The course we plot NOW can save our energies to building towards our goal, 3% Membership Growth !

How can we get there? Plot a course. Use the 31 May 02 Stat Report (http://www.usps.org/national/hq/may02stat.html) to determine our starting point. Our destination = 3% more when we arrive at 31 May 03. Draw our course line and mark this course with the number of members needed to achieve our destination. If each squadron will do this, we can reach our destination one squadron at a time. The combined total of "Power of One." SIMPLY AMAZING! 3% Membership Growth - CAN DO Would you do me a favor?

Here is a short BIO about Jack; << I am 52 years young, I have been in my own business for 19 years. I have been in the Power Squadron for about 3 1/2 years. I am an XO officer this year and will become Commander next year. I have a great liking for the Power Squadron because we have the same fun as Yacht clubs, but with out all the heavy drinking. As AO I could see a great need for a salesman to sell the squadron so I took it upon myself to do that job at every boat smart class. I honed my skills to the point of averaging between 50 and 80% sign up. In the last two years we added about 80 members. I am now working with Portland as part of my new assignment and believe I will have a great time doing this also. I have a 34' Bayliner and enjoy all the cruises. This is one of the best organizations I have ever belonged to. I forgot to mention I am also the Local Chairman for hopeful GB2005. >> Jack is being assigned D16 and 32 to help Bev out. She will continue with D13, 25, and 28. Welcome Aboard Jack!

For the benefit of the new members of the recruiting group and us more veterans let's review the monthly reporting scheduling. Time continues with many things going on between national meetings. OCom continues between them and our reports are filed with OCom throught the V/C of the department. Thus we need your monthly input. About Monthly Reports: Thank you Carolyn and Bev for your reports! Individual monthly activity reports are due by the 10th of the month and are sent to the Sft/C (ahoy, me). Each committee member is to file a report even if there is nothing to report. Actually, telling us you have nothing to report is a report, right? Your reports are complied into one and sent to Frank McHugh, R/C of the committees. Frank then reports to Ernie regards any matter that should be discussed at a pending OCom meeting. Email works best. My email address is : sailplay@aol.com Conference Reports: Conference reports go directly to Frank. When attending a conference please file a report regards membership activities that took place. Questions, ideas, etc. that came up especially. Remember, we are always looking for great ideas/programs to share nationally. If attending a conference other than your own district, you should first make an inquiry to the D/C to advise them you'd like to attend. Offer any help on behalf of our committee to the D/C to help make the conference a success. Brochures, forms, etc.. About Email List for MemCom: All committee members are on email and our email list. Remember, the email list address is: memcom@usps.org When you send a message to this address, everyone on the committee receives it, including our department head, V/C Ernie Marshburn, Sft/Cs Laura Tertero (MI), Roberta Dougherty (Youth Act.) and members of the Youth Activities Group. It's a closed list meaning only members of the committee are members of this list. I handle the administration of the list so I know who is on it. Only members of the list can post emails to it, all others get bounced to me. Summer is now ahappen'in so be safe out there, enjoy the waters wherever you are. If you have any questions, my phone number is : 425-348-0739, Cell 253-988-4333, and of course you have my email address as well. We have our work cut out for us, membership numbers are coming in and the lost rate is not looking to good right now. Only 25 of the 449 squadrons have been processed so I'm sure the rate will change by the end of JULY. But with your help, we can and should make growing USPS FUN. Job one, Let's Make It FUN - Make It Happen! Many squadrons did have early summer classes as the Jun membership report showed. Increase in recruiting new members over last June was great to see! Can the squadrons keep this effort going throughout the new year? Let's motivate them and keep them pumped up.

I believe that membership recruitment begins at the very top level of Commander, without a good base for members to get excited, there will be no recruitment. So in your squadrons I believe that you need to select the ones that are going up the chain very carefully, pick leaders, not dictators. Second the XO needs to be very involved in the fact that he or she is the person the outside world will be in contact with, they need to have a good crew under them and very willing to post flyers etc. any place they can. They also need to be willing to get ideas from other squadrons, and be able to work with other squadrons, after all the USPS stands for power "squadrons" not squadron. I have made it my personal motto to live and breath USPS and no matter where I'm at Boat Shows, Docks, Vessel Exams, etc. If I see a new face I tell them about the Power Squadron and let them know what we do and ask them to join us. Now to the person that has membership under their office. AO is in my opinion one of the most important positions there is, the AO works, or should be able to work closely with all committees under them and especially the membership committee. All of us are members of that committee. The AO needs to be friendly and extremely outgoing, some sales ability needs to be there also, or put in place a designated speaker to speak at all boat smart classes, and the short ones will not work, because of time factor. This speaker needs to tell a little about the squadron and it's function at the beginning of each class, and then at the end of his spiel he or she needs to ask them to join, I think this may be the biggest mistake being made, we think they are going to ask us to join, that's not not going to happen. On the last night, I really put the pressure on. I make shur that they know all the discounts etc. available, and I also own a auto repair, and I throw in a five percent discount to all squadron members, so you might look amongst your members for other discounts. Then I tell them that we really want them to join a great organization, and be a part of us. I make a lasting impression, and sometimes they will join later. We always have a fifth night, know as desert potluck where we hand out certificates, I look at this as one more opportunity to grasp one or two more. Remember the real job starts now---Retainment, you need a good mentor program in place. I hope that I have been helpful, feel free to call me at anytime and I am really feeling wonderful to be a part of this committee and amongst some of the finest people in this organization, I don't think you would be here if you did not already know what you're doing, but I have already used several things you folks put on this site.

The open meeting format will be exciting to watch and see how it goes. Please be patience and helpful in this experiement. We can make it happen. The Nat'l Sec Membership Report finally came through from Hq after a computer problem with their email. It is now available as is all other reports as of 31 July 02. Take a peek and download and/OR print them out. Know how to get access to these reports so you can guide your districts and squadrons to these tools. A new report was added showing Family Membership as compared to Active. Family membership is being discussed by the stragetic planning folks (I'm one) and elimination of this catagory is being recommended. This can have a negitive impact on some districts and squadrons so I wanted to have some data out there for you to access and compare. Check it out. Another item the committee (SPC) is recommending is the elimination of the educational requirement to become a member. These items should be discussed during our closed meeting as should anniversary billing. This item I understand will come to the floor of the GB on Saturday for a vote. See you all soon, Hope your summer is winding down to be cooler and easier to take.

Closed meeting Thurs 9/12 will be held in the Iowa room at 0945 - 1045 this is in the Savery Hotel. Open will be Friday 9/13 held in the Grand Ballroon of the Savery Hotel at : The meeting starts at 0830 with the V/C talking for 15 minutes followed by Meetings Committee for 30 minutes, a 5 minute break to change speakers then we start at 0920. The idea right now for setup of the room will be similar to the general meeting set up with the big screen on the right facing from the audience, a table on a podium in the center for the facilitator, recorder and V/C, and a table on the left side (where the P/C/Cs sit at the general meeting) for the R/C and Stf/Cs. There would be a podium in front of the center table. The large screen can be used for Power Point presentations where needed. After one of our sessions is finished, the Stf/C could move to the secondary room to answer questions, or wait until all are finished and all move to secondary room. Our committees are scheduled as follows: 0920 - 0950 ..... Member Involvement 0950 - 1020 ..... Youth Activities 1020 - 1050 ..... Member Recruiting **** GRPS Plus we have table duties at both Membership and 1st Timers tables. Please contact Carolyn if you have not done so. She will corrdinate with MI regards 1st Timers Table as well as the Membership Table for all members of all three committees. Her email is: escalateV@aol.com Keep in mind to promote purchases at the Membership table to members attending the GB. They can get a discount on the items plus save money on shipping and handling fees. It's a good deal. The items can be taken back to their squadrons and given to the committees that need them. And the more we sell the less we need to ship back.

Earl and Frank have colaborated on the artcle and it will list districts and squadrons that had membership growth as of 31 May 02 at or above 3 percent national goal. Additionally we should consider having a letter under Frank' s sig to all districts and squadrons that had growth but did not meet the 3 percent goal. This letter would motivate them to do so next time and to keep up the great job they are doing with their efforts in Growing USPS. Let's discuss this at the closed meeting.

Ernie has passed it on down and he and I thought it would be a good read for ya all. Think about what Herb is proposing. Does "safety" really sell that well? And should we be more focused on the passion of boating as you find most active members so focused? REALLY, really active members (like yourselfs) are nuts about boating ;-) Aren't you? Enjoy. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks, Bruce --------------------------- On Why the US Power Squadrons are Having Trouble Growing and Retaining Members and a Possible solution D/Lt/C Herb Shaw, JN D/32 DEO From the outset of this minor treatise, let me make it clear that I believe in what USPS is and does. I am a strong supporter of my own squadron, district and of the national education activity. That said I have some observations about the organization, its mission, and importantly, its appeal to this generation of boaters. My point of view is from my experience as a long time boater, some 50 years or so with sail and power, rivers, bays, and blue water. I joined the boating activity with unparallel enthusiasm, zeal and intenseness in learning all I could from boat handling to maintenance, from history and maritime tradition to celestial navigation. That enthusiasm continues to this day. It may be said that I am passionate about the sport. Now then, these are my observations of the current and ongoing efforts to attract new members, and most importantly, retain membership. Here is where I must sound like a heretic. Safety is important. No, safety is crucial in the operation of a vessel. But, friends, safety doesn’t necessarily sell in my book. Not to the "masses". Any responsible boater understands that the craft must be properly equipped, and that there are certain precautions and correct operations that must be heeded to ensure safe return. However, in my opinion the words "safety" or "safe boating education" is not a sufficient marketing draw to attract and then keep members. We would like to have members who are passionate about boats and boating activities, and as an adjunct, passionate about learning, understanding, and sharing that knowledge with others. And of course, any maritime knowledge must include the safety aspects of boating. However, what I am attempting to point out is the order in which we present, or sell ourselves. The organization has adopted the following "mission statement". To promote recreational boating safety through education and civic activities while providing fellowship for our members. This is a noble statement and I do not argue with it. It carries on the tradition of USPS from its founding and serves a cause that few can dispute is a worthy one. What our squadrons are now facing is how to carry out that mission and improving on it, while maintaining viability for the present and foreseeable future. Viability to me means, (1) Maintain a sufficient membership body to carry out the public and membership requirements we place on ourselves, as well as providing the funds to maintain a solid, effective and on-going volunteer organization. (2) Expand membership to serve our mission to greater numbers, and (3) Provide an environment that continues to offer its members high value for the time and money they’ve invested. It is this organizational viability that we are all now very concerned about. The Membership, Member Involvement, and retention Committee is a great idea. It should have been formed years ago as soon as we learned that we had three years of declining membership. Any good business would have reacted early to stem the decline. Nevertheless, we are now earnestly looking for solutions. And for these solutions, we can look first at Dr. Lynn Appleton’s discussion and critique. She has hit the nail on the head in highlighting the characteristics of our current market. In many cases we don’t see the same single-minded passion, we must now compete for our market’s time and interest, and most importantly, USPS must learn to change itself to appeal to this new, albeit growing market character. Let’s take a look at several examples of today’s boater. No longer is boating a sport for the wealthy. Well, maybe the "tax them for all they’re worth" legislators don’t believe that, but most of us know that the majority of boaters fit into the category of middle-class folks. There are over 70 million of us in this country that participate in some form of boating. That’s nearly 30% of our population. However, today many consider boating as only one of their pastimes and so we now find that we compete for their time and attention that translates into interest, but maybe not passion. In this day and age there are far more activities available to us and our children than in any prior period and most people want to sample more than one leisure pursuit. Here we might have a young family with their requisite 2.5 children who own an 18-foot outboard-powered runabout. Two Saturdays a month during the boating season they take their boat out for a spin. Maybe it is for fishing, a picnic, or water-skiing. Sure these folks want to be safe, but the joy they look for is the fun of the day. Where should we go, what should we take, where’s the best place to have lunch? And, if I’m new at boating, I’d want to know how to handle the boat and dock it; and by the way what do those buoys mean? We may have all seen the new boater who decided to bypass the years of 2-foot-itis and jump directly into a 42-foot condo. He generally faces a slip that looks like a 3x5 card in size. Where does he get help? Maybe it comes from the dealer, but, more likely from the guy who has the slip next to him as a precautionary measure. Could not we members offer that help and encouragement? Why can’t USPS be the first to offer that friendship and help to support and boost his confidence? With that beginning it is an easy translation to introduce the Basic Boating program and the opportunity for continuing education. We can help in all those aspects. Our Triangle says it pretty clearly; Civic Service, Self-Education, Fraternal Boating Club. But right now we sell USPS on the basis of registering for one of the Basic Boating courses. We may talk about our meetings, social events and maybe our cruises, but what does the prospect really want to know. I say that if they are new to boating, or are experienced but are not members of a boating club or yacht club, most are looking for help, probably on the water, extended boating friends, or cruising with a few experienced people. They are faced with learning the immediate practicalities of boating. Why can’t we be there for them in this regard? Why not emphasize this aspect and sell us first as a Boating Club and as an added bonus, a comprehensive educational program. Does this obviate in any way our ability to educate safe boating? Not at all, it comes with the territory, but with a more appealing face. Ah, but I hear someone say, "No we can’t do that as part of USPS, there are insurance issues". Yes, there may be, but let’s find a way to do it. Let’s work the issue. In the "old, old days" when USPS was being formed out of the Boston and New York Yacht Clubs, I suspect that the draw was because motor boats were new and required very different operation from sailing. There became an exchange of information, mutual help and advice that led to the growth of this aspect of the sport. These people were passionate and drew ever-larger numbers to their fold. In a sense, the earlier editions of Chapman have reflected this enthusiasm and the need to share experiences. In a quaint way it reflected a willingness to share the "secrets" of safe and enjoyable boating. Take a look at a pre-WWII edition and you will see what I mean. We have numerous initiatives underway in Education, in Retention, and Member acquisition. However, we still have not yet done enough to improve our overall appeal, nor in my mind raised the "value" bar to entice and retain the quality of members we would like to have. The simple, but underlying question is, what will draw boaters to USPS and have them grow and become active in squadron activities? I’ll make a couple of recommendations for the reader to consider. 1. First, let us modify the mission slightly to reflect the following: First and foremost USPS is a national Boating Club that strives to educate its members in the activity of boating. We do this through personal interchange of experience with people with same interests, through formalized educational courses, through planned on-the-water events, and through our pledge of "promoting the highest standards of navigation and seamanship". As an organization we are pledged to "render assistance whenever possible". Our responsibility extends to the public and we offer basic boating and boating safety programs throughout the United States. Further, USPS works with and supports the boating educational requirements of all 50 states and its possessions. 2. Redefine the requirements for membership An individual may join the USPS if he or she is interested in the sport and has agreed to complete one of the fundamental boating programs within one year of acceptance. Those who enter with a qualified equivalency are exempt from this requirement. Secondly, the admitted member must complete one additional course of their choice, and/or participate in one of the many volunteer activities by the second anniversary of their admittance. 3. Responsibilities of the Squadron and its members (among others) · Each Squadron will provide an adequate number of courses for its members so that it is able to fulfill its responsibilities for continuing education. In addition, the squadron will arrange for an adequate number of public courses and promote such to the best of its ability. Each squadron must be sensitive to location convenience and the inability of some who cannot attend class. Offer ABC as a substitute. Accept smaller classes and utilize more instructor/proctors in more convenient locations. Rather than straining the teaching staff, this provides more opportunity for participation within the membership. · Each squadron will plan and carry out a sufficient number of activities, both on and off the water to provide for the interchange of boating operation experiences. Each cruise or rendezvous could have an educational theme as well as a social one. · The squadron will develop an instructional program for the first time and/or inexperienced boater, as appropriate for its membership. This would include, but not be limited to instruction on the new owner’s boat, again as appropriate. This would be seen as a supplement to, and reinforcement of, our formal courses. · The Squadron should endeavor to plan cruises that allow new members to "get their feet wet" in the operation of their boat in the company of experienced mentors, and in the exploration of new cruising areas. As a continuing effort, certain aspects from the Advanced Grade and Elective courses could be stressed and applied as reinforcement to classroom learning. 4. Selling USPS and recruiting members Promote USPS as the largest boating club in the country. It differs from a yacht club in that it does not provide moorage, but does provide social and on-the-water activities along with educational opportunities. USPS is geared to provide specialized boating education for ALL aspects of boating and will prepare its members for safe inland excursions to extended offshore cruises. Its members are pledged to help one another through a voluntary exchange. Take a point from commercial firms in promoting and marketing their products and services. Change the face of USPS from one of providing Safe Boating Education to an organization that, in some sense, is an alternative to yacht club membership. An organization that offers its members immersion in boats, boating, cruising, and all manner of maritime learning and education. Our exempt status must be preserved and our civic responsibilities need to be expanded. With a membership nearly twice that of the USCGAux, we teach and graduate far fewer individuals. We need to renew our efforts and become the premier group in supporting state education initiatives. Recruiting at boat shows is not sufficient. There is no longer a reason to ignore advertisements in boating newspapers, magazines, chandleries, etc. Develop a holistic marketing program to tell the "new" story. Create a recruiting initiative that will provide member involvement opportunities. Letters of invitation sent to a culled list of state boating registrants surely will produce a set of qualified and enthusiastic prospects. Why not? Are we compromising ourselves? In view of shrinking membership we are obliged to do what we can to restore the USPS to its former position and to truly become the country’s premier boating club…in every respect. If we are to compete for the attention of today’s boater, we must offer a compelling reason for their time and participation. USPS is not alone in this current decline of members. Almost all service organizations are experiencing the same problem, so we cannot be too harsh on ourselves. However, our mission is too important and our long term prospect too vital not to attack this problem with vigor and open-mindedness. We have already created an atmosphere of action and singular solutions. I only add that we need to revisit the overall appeal in light of today’s market.

I think he presents a lot of good ideas regarding Membership in USPS. I have known Herb for many years and know that he spent a lot of time analyzing USPS. He offered these suggestions to make the organization better. One thing that he did not mention in his white paper, that we have spoken about was the lack of leadership at the Squadron level. We should not have to beg members to become officers, yet it is happening around the country. If we have good strong leaders in the Squadrons (Bridge, Members at Large, Committee chairs) we would no longer have to settle for the minimum. Herb may be right regarding what we are selling in regards to USPS. A provisional membership that allows someone who wants to participate and become active, do so. This might just provide us a bigger pool of potential leaders for the future. Herb said "If we are to compete for the attention of today's boater, we must offer a compelling reason for their time and participation." We have to empahsize fun and the opportunities we provide that are fun. For some, fun is going out cruising on weekends, others, itswashing down their boats, volunteerism or trying to increase their knowledge. We need to emphasize all opportunities for fun within our organization. I have always been for the requirement of passing a qualified safe boating exam for membership in USPS. However, we might just get more members with Herb's idea of a provisional membership for one year. Then, it is up to the squadrons to capitalize on the additional members by ASKING them to participate. As Herb said "Create a recruiting initiative that will provide member involvement opportunities." What do you think?

See below the non-renewal rates for USPS 2002. Uggg, over 19% :-( Now the good news. Recruiting is up and I think reinstatements will be strong also, why? Power of ONE Have you recruited a new member today? Talked to a non-renewed member and in a friendly manner invited them back, maybe to attend with you the next squadron meeting? I know you will work this challenge in a proactive, positive manner and enjoy the challenge of keeping the squadrons and their districts pumped up to gain and grow their membership levels. Sure it's a challenge but making it FUN will make achieving this goal a piece of cake ;-) The goal of 3% Growth is doable but must be recognized for the job it really is and to make a plan NOW to reach this national goal.

Good news is USPS membership is showing excellent improvement even though it's summer. If you look at Aug over Aug last year to this membership is only down 659 VS 1546 last year. Recruiting is off a little again. This is two months in a row. Watch this in the coming months. Looks like reinstatements are stronger a little which is a plus. Check out the reports.

The resolution is as follows: “Upon the death of the active member, the family memberships dependent thereon shall be automatically upgraded to active status if the family member so qualifies for the remainder of the membership year at no cost to the member or the squadron. Renewal for the following years will then be as an active member. Should the family member not qualify to be an active member because of failure to pass the appropriate course, such member can remain as a family member for the duration of the membership year and renew for one additional year as a family member allowing them time to pass the appropriate course” The resolution appears to be reasonable and would encourage family members to remain in the organization as active members. Please review it and if you have any comments, please contact me before Tuesday, since V/C Marshburn needs to include our decision in his report to the GB. Sorry I'm so late in getting this information out to you. With so much going on in our three committees, this seems to have fallen in a crack. Some early discussions on the resolution were very favorable. If I do not hear any negative comments, I will inform V/C Marshburn, that we recommend approval of this resolution.

(see below) It's excellent and I want to share this with you. Maybe you do this or maybe you could start doing something like this. Note he is sending it to the bridge officers and the district's email list (d16@usps.org). Does your assigned districts have an email list? To find out go to the members national web site and follow links to email lists. Jack reports the numbers and in his email give an idea to try as well, very positive and upbeat.

Now I wish my report would say that all was an increase, but that would only be wishful thinking, sometimes I think we get complacent in what we do and we neglect to try different things, I have personally found that just mingling with you're class and someone that is well versed in sales and the USPS starting at the beginning of each session and taking about 5 to 10 minutes to tell them about what we do and then boldly go where no man has gone before and ask them to join (WE WANT YOU TO BE A PART OF US). So here's the challenge, I want a 15 to 25% increase district wide this year, I know that we can do it. I have issued the same challenge to D32 and you guys better watch out. Also we are trying something here that we hope will help and if you want some help let me know, we're going to have myself and Bev Kennedy at as many classes as we can to help train someone in each squadron. So call us for help. Jack 503-735-2618 and now the news.

Check your districts for email list. If your assigned district has an email list, then do what I did with this email. Copy and paste it into an email and send it to the district's email list. Many members don't necessarily belong to both and you know repeating ourselves is always necessary in getting the attitude to change for greater and greater altitude (membership growth).

It is true I have had five of our boats inspected by the USPS but only one of the inspectors knew anything about the agreement and no one knew just what it meant.

This is such a great opportunity to engage in meaningful activities and training with YOUNG people (ages 14 - 21). Squadrons are encouraged to offer the Boating or Boat Smart course at a discounted rate and then to invite the Sea Scouts to join as apprentices. (Their leaders would join as regular members.) A special USPS - Sea Scout certificate of completion of the Boating or Boat Smart Course is now available from the Education Dept and the Sea Scout Apprentice certificate is also available.

The 2002 Fall GovBd turned out to be an outstanding one for the Administrative Department. In particular, the Administrative Department “combined open meeting” and the “First Aid Seminar” were particular hits that drew a lot of praise and special recognition from attending members. Please help me extend special appreciation to each member of your respect staffs for a job well done !!! To each member of the leadership team as well, Nicely Done! I am very proud of what each of you were able to accomplish. Ernie" I also extend my congratulations! I must admit that I had reservations concerning the new format for the Open Meeting. However, as it turned out it was a huge success. Our presenters were able to fit their presentations to the time allotted and still get their message across. The attendees were very pleased with the format. It allowed them to cover all the presentations without having to move from room to room. Of course we will be requesting some modifications to the format but on the whole it proved to be very successful. Thanks to all who contributed to the success of our programs.

I will post another message on the PS Email list. An article appeared in the Sept issue of the USPS monthly publication (The Ensign) announcing the MOA and another will appear in the Nov issue further explaining the implementation process. Additionally, I know that a PR article was sent to over 60 boating related publications announcing the MOA. The Hq staff at USPS customer service line, (888-for-USPS) has prepared an information kit for USPS members on the Sea Scout - USPS partnership. Squadrons are encouraged to call the number and request a copy of the kit. (I have already requested that one be sent to you.) Our national officers said that they wanted this cooperative effort to work but Mike needs to deal with the local squadron members who may not always hear what the national organization wants. His best hope would be to befriend them and convince them that he represents a viable program to increase membership for both organizations. General information on the Sea Scout - USPS imitative is posted at the following site for members: http://www.usps.org/national/youth/participating.htm . Mike could suggest that the USPS member go there to get immediate information or call the USPS toll-free customer service number. Mike needs to know the local squadron leaders and he can not depend on the national officers to reach everyone. As a national officer of USPS, I am working hard to implement the MOA but we also need the direct help of Sea Scout Ships everywhere. Suggest that Mike Walker contact them again and if he doesn't get anywhere to send me their names and I will contact them directly. The whistles, postcards and literature was well received in DesMoines. It all disappeared. Clearly some USPS members have gotten the message. Plan to send more for our Annual Meeting in Orlando from Jan 1 - 4 at the Omni Rosen. As we get closer, I will send you more info. Our membership table is always happy to display Sea Scout information.

The three age categories are 6-8, 9-11, and 12-14. The theme for the 6th Youth Poster contest is "Catch the Boating Safety Habit". The contest rules are: The entry must be vertical, not horizontal, in orientation. The entry must be on 15" by 20" or 14" by 22" poster paper. Participants may sketch the design lightly with pencil, but the end result must be a color poster. There is no limit to the type of media used, except professional illustrations, photos or copyrighted material may not be used, and computer generated art may not be submitted. Do not fold the poster. The poster will be judged for the idea presented more than artistic ability. The contest entry form (located in the May 2002 issue of the ENSIGN) must be completed and pasted on back of the poster. Only entry per person. All entries become the property of United Stated Power Squadrons, which reserves the right to display or otherwise use the submission and modify any poster for future reproduction. Posters must be judged at the squadron level, prior to judging at the District level. Judging at the district level can occur at the District Spring Conference or Summer Rendezvous. First place winners at the district level in each age category 6-8, 9-11 and 12-14 can be submitted for judging at the National level. Judging at the National level will take place at the USPS Fall 2003 Governing Board meeting in Reno, Nevada. Thank you for your interest in the 6th USPS Youth Poster contest.

First, one of the statements that is patently wrong is 'they have made up their mind'. This is absolutely untrue. First of all the 'they' is you, the members of USPS. And you will vote on the project in Orlando in January through your commander and delegates. I am disappointed to learn that some think this is some kind of a financial power grab by national. Rather, several of the main issues here are to help squadrons 1) with a less complex job for the treasurer who is often the least trained person on the bridge 2) to increase member retention by giving them more time to work with new members and to convince non-renewing members to change their minds 3) to have a little more income as Anniversary Billing will increase a squadrons total dues collection by 3-4%. Squadrons are the backbone of the organization. No one is trying to usurp financial control from the squadrons. They will get their money quickly from national. No one is moving the balance of power, the organization is governed by the delegates to the Annual Meeting and to the Governing Boards. Now many people have expressed the thought that working on renewing members for a few weeks in the summer time is better than working on the problem all year long. However, when the problem is spread over the year, several thing happen -1) you have to spend less time in boating season on the problem, 2) membership retention is thought of as a year long project not just a thing to work on for a few weeks in June, 3) squadron officers doing this task will have only a couple of people a month to call and therefore will be able to give each potential non-renewer a little more quality time and have a better chance of convincing him to change his mind. Today many of the squadrons don't get their calling done until September or perhaps later. On the other hand, I see that the end-of-June shock of losing 40% of a squadrons members may galvanize a squadron to action. However it the squadron were working on this problem all year long, there would be no shock because member retention could be better. The processing of the paperwork was mentioned. It is intended to improve the system by computer processing of renewals. This way everybody wins - the squadron treasurer has less to do especially in boating season; and don't tell me that he gets all his work done in a timely manner now because I know that many (maybe not yours) treasurers are late and the transmittal sheets are error prone. Their will be no more people doing the work at HQ; the new system allows efficiencies. In closing, let me say that we are all trying to do what is best for USPS. We mean for all of USPS not just for each one's own squadron. While some may have ideas this way or that on a subject, many other people do not feel the same way that you do as to what is the best option for USPS. As I said YOU get to vote on the subject in January and we'll go from there. ---DOUG KERR National Treasurer >> From SailPlay@aol.com Tue Sep 24 12:04:40 2002 Received: from imo-r03.mx.aol.com (imo-r03.mx.aol.com [152.163.225.99]) by linux20383.dn.net (8.11.6/verio) with ESMTP id g8OG4da06142; Tue, 24 Sep 2002 12:04:39 -0400 Received: from SailPlay@aol.com by imo-r03.mx.aol.com (mail_out_v34.10.) id g.86.20bc67d6 (17079); Tue, 24 Sep 2002 12:10:16 -0400 (EDT) From: SailPlay@aol.com Message-ID: <86.20bc67d6.2ac1e868@aol.com> Date: Tue, 24 Sep 2002 12:10:16 EDT To: memcom@usps.org, meminv@usps.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: AOL 4.0 for Windows 95 sub 9 Subject: [memcom] Re: [Psml] Anniversary Billing / Central Collection of Dues - Sender: memcom-admin@usps.org Errors-To: memcom-admin@usps.org X-BeenThere: memcom@usps.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.0.7 Precedence: bulk List-Help: List-Post: List-Subscribe: , List-Id: For members of the national committee List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: More from Nat'l Tres Doug Kerr.

ORIGINAL ********** . Members perceive National Bridge/OCom changing focus of USPS from Squadron based organization to National owned and operated. Squadron strength, or local focus is one of the things that has made USPS work. RESPONSE ###### There will be no change in focus. Squadrons will remain the backbone of our organization. The HQAB project will make life easier for squadron treasurers. RESPONSE ###### There are many questions. However they have been addressed in the material sent to District Commanders, Squadron Commanders, District Treasurers and Squadron Treasurers. I will post a copy on psml again ORIGINAL ********** From the numbers I have read this is going to cost far more than is indicated, additional staff at Raleigh, certainly. RESPONSE ###### I do not know where you read that this is going to cost more than indicated but I do know that whoever wrote that statement does not know what he is talking about. ORIGINAL ********** The more hands touch the money the larger the chance of error. Squadrons know their membership. If a member has problems we will work with them. National could not possibly begin to deal with all the local requests. RESPONSE ###### I agree. However, when member/USPS problems develop (most squadrons report few, if any such problems) they will be handled by the squadron not by national. ORIGINAL ********** BUT who is going to absorb the credit card fee? Is that to come out of the squadron share of dues? I do not see my squadron willing to lose 5% or more. National cannot afford to absorb the fee either so how long will it be before dues rise to cover the 5% or higher cost? RESPONSE ###### National is going to absorb the credit card fee. I do not know who told you that national cannot afford to handle the fee but whoever did tell you that is dead RONG.

I was national treasurer and holding a treasurer's seminar at a governing board when we were discussing the possibilities of credit cards and headquarters collection of dues. Contrary to some statements on PSML about this process being generated by national, it was national rep's visits to districts that it became clear that squadron members wanted us to help them with a centralized system to renew members by credit cards. At the time there were more questions than answers. Also, most members at national and the headquarters group were not exactly thinking positively about working on a system which would change what was in place. Columbus Squadron did volunteer to be a test case. This allowed us to try the system and educated us as to what would work and what might not work. It was the success of the project that changed the thinking that it was possible to have a system that could be an improvement. What started out as a simple request by members did get more involved. Thanks to the work of many (in particular V/C Doug Kerr) we do have a well thought out plan for a new system that will solve some renewal problems and lighten the work load for all involved.

The National Sec'y Membership Report shows recruiting new members gained slightly ahead of last Sept......Keep our troops pumped up they are doing great things out there in the trenches! Check out the 5 year membership graph for Grand Rapids Power Squadron as just one example. They did a great job providing the Open Meeting in Des Moines and sharing what they do. So far in the membership year of 2002 - 2003, 1 Jun to 30 Sep the squadrons have added 1409 new members. This is about 6% better than last year at this time! But we have our work cut out in the months ahead. For example in Oct, Nov, and Dec of last year squadrons added 493, 628, and 535 respectively. Can we beat these numbers from last year? You bet we can. Growing membership in USPS should be fun and the "Power of One" can get the job done.

Send your report directly to Frank McHugh, Rear Commander of our committe and if you can cc me please. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ OUR Email List All members are on email and on the MemCom email list. Remember, the email list address is: memcom@usps.org (NOTE the send to address above for this email.) When you send a message to this address, everyone on the committee receives it, including the department head, V/C Ernie Marshburn. It's a closed list meaning only members of the committee are on this list. I handle the administration of the list so I know who is on it. Only members of the list can post emails to it, all others are bounced. It's a simple and easy way to communicate with the committee.

As I mentioned during the AO bridge report in Des Moines, my interest is to continue following your lead in that regard. As of our squadron's Boating Class last evening, I signed up my second USPS member this year. You should also be encouraged to announce your personal new recruits as well.

The National Sec'y Membership Report shows recruiting new members gained slightly ahead of last Sept......Keep our troops pumped up they are doing great things out there in the trenches! Check out the 5 year membership graph for Grand Rapids Power Squadron as just one example. They did a great job providing the Open Meeting in Des Moines and sharing what they do. So far in the membership year of 2002 - 2003, 1 Jun to 30 Sep the squadrons have added 1409 new members. This is about 6% better than last year at this time! But we have our work cut out in the months ahead. For example in Oct, Nov, and Dec of last year squadrons added 493, 628, and 535 respectively. Can we beat these numbers from last year? You bet we can. Growing membership in USPS should be fun and the "Power of One" can get the job done. For the new member report and national membership reports visit the web site and follow link to "reports." Share this information with your assigned districts TODAY!

It was a terrific meeting and primarily concerned recruiting, involvement and youth activities. The three chairmen of these committees are really gung ho. If the other districts are as pumped up about our programs as D/4, USPS might just be on the brink of a major membership surge. By the time I returned home our membership team leaders had already forwarded your message to the whole committee. They are fantastic! Thanks for the words of encouragement, we all appreciate them.

Return to Top Proper Lay-Up Techniques - Don't Fall Behind Nothing is harder on your boat than neglect, and neglect is exactly what recreational boats are subjected to when boats go unused for any period of time. But proper lay-up techniques can minimize the ill effects winter disuse will have on your boat. A prime objective of lay-up is to prepare your boat for the possibility of freezing conditions. Fluids must be removed or protected, and nothing should be aboard that might be damaged by low temperatures. Unless you prepare a comprehensive checklist--and follow it--chances are good that you will miss a step or two.

Regardless of how the current proposal goes, I do think that changes are in order. Right now you receive what for all the world looks like an old fashioned computer generated bill, complete with dot matrix printing and tractor feed paper. Leaping out at you is a cheerful red box that says "PAY BY MAY 2002 TO AVOID A LATE FEE." Has anybody rejected a member who renews late but refuses to pay the "reinstatement fee of $2.00. Since national bills the reinstatement fee to the squadron, its another little dirty job to go after the person we wanted to renew and request another 2 bucks. Frequently we eat the $2 and chalk it up to "customer relations." The feedback section on the side is frequently overlooked by members since there's no reminder on the front of the "bill" to look on the other side. It asks such "quaint" questions as "ship phone" (there's only enough space for a call sign, which most of us don't have. How about "email address", "mobile phone" and a space to put in other feedback/suggestions/committee interests? In fact how about a chance for each squadron to have a letter inserted (squdron supplies text) with a more friendly notice that makes the whole thing a little more consistent with a non-profit educational organization. Right now our squadron sends out a letter in advance of the national billing to remind members why their dues are so important to the squadron and what good things we have done over the year. It would be nice to have an opportunity to deliver that positive message together with the more threatening message: pay up now or we'll charge you a late fee. One final piece of feedback I have received is that the notice is addressed only to the primary active member and not other active/family adult members. (e.g., typically spouse). It's a minor item for many, but again it recognizes the reality that the bill paying and the renewal decision may be handled by the additional active or adult family member). I don't recall the subject of dues notification format coming up before, but if we're going to redesign the notice to accomodate credit cards, seems like a good time to think about the other "messages" that are currently being delivered with the bill.

But I have seen very few hard numbers or facts - just opinions. I don't know how our experience compares with other squadrons, but here's our renewal process and some numbers representing my experience with this year's non-renewal period. 1. In April and May, we submit an article in our monthly newsletter imploring our members to send their dues renewal in as soon as possible so they don't forget. I also stress the amount of work their delinquency costs our MI Chairman (me) in time and effort to make calls and the amount of work it causes our treasurer in sending out reminders and paperwork in completing reinstatements. 2. Early June our treasurer sends out the reminder notices 3. In mid-June, I get the non-renewal list from our treasurer and put it into a spreadsheet with names and phone numbers. This year, we started with about 58 non-renewals out of about 319 members (incl. 5 Women Cert. holders that National doesn't count - we do!). 4. I sent an email to all those non-renewals with email addresses on file with the squadron (about 60%) reminding them again of their delinquency. 5. I called the rest of the list, reaching only about 8, but leaving phone messages with another 15, about 3 with no answering machines and another 6 disconnected with no forwarding number (higher this year than usual). These I considered lost. The results of each call was put in the spreadsheet and dated at the column heading. Then I waited and kept in touch with our treasurer. (I did continue calling the 3 with no answering machine until I reached them.) 6. Late June, I updated the spreadsheet based on our treasure's input and started calling all non-renewals again (no more email). I'm now down to about 43 non-renewals - most just needed the prodding and reminder that they were now delinquent - checks were sent immediately. Of those reached and not interested in renewing( about 19), we ask for a reason and let it go at that. They are marked in the spreadsheet as definite non-renewals. 7. Wait another 10 days or so, repeat step 6. We're getting down to the nitty-gritty. About another 8 confirmed non-renewals. A few more checks received. 8. Cleanup: Insure all possible non-renewals have been contacted. Maybe 2 or 3 commitments still outstanding without a check having been received. Final Tally: Non-renewals on 6/1/02 - 58 Final confirmed non-renewals - 24 Lost contact - 6 No response (after several attempts) - 3 Promised to renew, still hasn't - 1 Renewals - 24 Final non-renewals: 10.7% - our goal of less than 10% was missed by 2 non-renewals (due to exceptionally large number of non-contacts - 9!). Bummer! Approximate amount of time committed: Step 1: 2 x 15 minutes = 30 minutes Step 3: 45 minutes Step 4: 20 minutes Step 5: 45 minutes Step 6: 90 minutes Step 7: 45 minutes Step 8: 20 minutes Total: 4 hours 55 minutes over a 2 month period. We had over 300 members. How much time can an average squadron of 150 members spend on non-renewals? Hope this sheds some light on the amount of work actually committed during a typical non-renewals period.

For us the quantity of students migrating from Boat Smart to Chart Smart is small, but the people who have taken it, are usually new members and signing up for the Piloting/Seamanship classes when they are available. This class provides the initial piloting class work that used to be given in the Squadron Boating Course. The students and instructors enjoy the format that removes the people that really are not interested in being forced to take the piloting in the other course and provides a confidence building beginning piloting experience. Chart Smart is a good ground breaking class for Piloting(some squadrons are adding extra material to it also), but is maybe too basic for AP review. Chart Smart gives the student, compass, TVMDC, Latitude/Longitude, plotting a course line, labeling course-speed-distance, 24 hour clock and the important 60D ST calculations exposure. Completion Certificates are available from National. I would recommend is for use by everyone.

Chart Smart is offered to the Boat Smart students on the following Saturday morning. 50 % or more sign up for Chart Smart. All chart work exercises are taught using the local Charlotte Harbor chart. This provides the students with an orientation to the local boating waters which they will be using. Those students that take Chart Smart are getting the equivalent content of the Boating Course. This prepares new members for Piloting as well. Peace River also offers the traditional Boating Course two times per year at two locations (4 classes) using the same chart work exercises as a supplement to the Boating Course material. Following the Boating Course, a 3 hour training cruise on Charlotte Harbor is offered on a local 65 ft. commercial boat. The cruise starts before dusk and ends after dark. Students are given the cruising speed and course information and are asked to plot the course legs. They predict the times to pass the various navigation aids. They see the aids both in daylight and in the dark on the return trip. This is a very popular supplement to the Boating Course. Chart Smart students are also offered the training cruise in conjunction with the Boating Course.students. Offering the Boat Smart /Chart Smart combination 3 times a year has not had a measurable effect on the number of students who attend the traditional Boating Course.

Snip I thinking arout the idea of using this letter's constructive criticisms as focus of our D8 spring conference. Snip Thanks, Kay >> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------- Ahoy, Kay has a good idea, please read her comments above. The article she is referenceing is in the October issue of The Ensign, page 5. Please read it. Make a list of points of interest based on your experiences and be prepared to discuss Lt Vernier's concerns about USPS today and for the future. We will take it up during the closed meeting in Orlando. Note he is from a very small squadron and we have many of these thoughout USPS. Also note the district is doing pretty good in recruiting meanwhile this squadron is struggling? By discussing this letter maybe the committee can formulate a position in addressing it? I will be making up an agenda for the meeting so please forward any items you wish to bring up and/or discuss with the group. I will send out the draft agenda for your review and comments.

The family member's merit marks do count when they become an active member. Here is the conflict: From the OM - Chapter 16 QUOTE Recommendations for a merit mark are made by squadron, district, rear and vice commanders and chief commander. Active and family members may be recommended [Bylaw 14.1]. Family merit marks shall not count toward senior, life or emeritus status [Bylaw 14.1.8].END QUOTE However here is what the USPS Bylaws say: QUOTE 14.1.8 Family merit marks may be converted to merit marks when a family member becomes an active member. However, the status of Governing Board member emeritus, life member or senior member shall not be awarded until a member completes 50, 25, or 5 years of active membership, respectively. END QUOTE The above is from the USPS Bylaws as currently posted on the WEB. The OM needs a revision to make it more clear. Example: Say a family member earned 5 merit marks and changes status to active. Upon paying dues as an active member the fifth year, "Senior" member status would be awarded whether or not any merit marks were earned while an active member. This has been noted and should be rectified in the near future. Please be aware of this policy and the possible confusion in case you get a question about this issue.

How? During Q1 we need tools to carry while cruising and handing out info about membership. About classes. Every member should carry "What's In It For You" and shirt pocket membership applications, class schedules for their area and email addresses to get to the national site for more class data. During Q3 we should highlight "Ships Stores" for gift ideas, helping other volunteer causes (food banks, giving programs, Tots for Toy USMC) encourage community involvement. Need flyers. All members are members of the Membership Committee, Power of ONE. Just some thoughts as I keep watch over our recruiting efforts.

YTD 5 Mos: Net Chg Yr Ago -667 VS -1348 (Real Progress) Family Membership is UP YTD +45 VS -120 (Very Cool) Number of Squadrons 448 VS 443 (Does Not Include Provisionals) The Squadrons continue their relentless persuit of new members! And it's showing great success throughout USPS. Commanders are TEAMing up with their ED Departments and building a Duo Dyamite TEAM to present the "Best" Boating Safety Program out there for all boaters. Sharing the wonderful benefits of membership in USPS is easy and FUN. Using the terrific "Welcome Aboard" folders and "What's In It For You" and other brochures make a great TEAM and presents the squadron in a very professional image. Another area showing great progress is the retention of "Late Renewals." These are the current nonrenewals who we contact personally to say HEY, you must of forgot to renew? Well this catagory is UP for the first 5 Mos, YTD: 2725 VS 2015 Squadrons once again show how hard they are working to GROW their Squadrons and USPS. Thank you ALL.

Here are the details: Successful completion of basic courses including Seamanship, Piloting and Advanced Piloting earn 2.5% credit per course for a maximum of 7.5%. Elective courses including Sail, Marine Electronics, Engine Maintenance and Weather also earn 2.5% credit each for a maximum of 7.5%. The maximum credit for all three basic courses and three or four electives is 15%. Full certificates earn an additional 5% credit, which then equals 20% credit. These discounts are provided annually. Credit is issued on new policies upon inception and on existing policies upon renewal and notification of course completion by the policyholder. The successful completion of a Vessel Safety Check can earn any policyholder 3% credit annually. VSC credit will be renewed each year that the policyholder sends a copy of their new 204 form to the USPS Boat Insurance Program. $500,000 Automatic Liability coverage/per occurrence for Oil Spills and Pollution is a standard feature of the USPS Boat Insurance Policy. The USPS policy will pay up to $500,000 per occurrence for pollution cost or expense, such as a request or demand by an individual or the government for pollution work to be performed. Pollution work means testing for, monitoring, cleaning up, removing or neutralizing pollution that is alleged, actual or threatened. I will be more than happy to give anyone a laminated copy of the educational credits provided by the USPS Boat Insurance Program or a laminated explanation of the policy's pollution coverage. Please e-mail me or stop by the Insurance Booth in Orlando. The USPS Boat Insurance Program and The St. Paul will also provide Marpol and Oil Discharge stickers for VSC Inspections at no charge.

Please be available to greet attendees at our " 1st Timer" and "Membership" Tables during times the tables are "Open" for business. At the 1st Timers Table we greet the members coming to their FIRST National Meeting. And at the Membership Table we have materials for sales at discounts and free handouts such as Youth Coloring Books. This is really a lot of FUN and you get to meet a lot of members from all over USPS. And We need your help. Please email or call Steve Johnson to sign up for time slots, one or two hours would be a great help. Steve's email address is: scj2flash.net or his phone is 405-751-5759 in Oklahoma City! This is IMPORTANT, please give this your immediate attention and email or call Steve right away. Your Help is Very Much Appreciated ;>) See you soon, Bruce --par
