To all members of the National Membership Committee

As Team Leader for MICA (Member Involvement Committee Award) for the past few 
years, I have seen a severe drop in the number of squadron submissions. 
Background information:
    The MICA concept is an extremely valuable program for our squadrons, one 
we should not let falter. Indeed many squadrons have been revitalized, and  
several squadrons have voted to remain in existence instead of voting to 
disband. The primary focus of the program is Membership Involvement and Retention.  
Though MICA we have been able to share great ideas and squadron successes with 
other squadrons. However, we need to increase the momentum.

    The MICA acronym reflects the former committee name. Is this the problem?
Questions:
    To revitalize the MICA program,  is it time for a name change?  (Yes   
No)        If  YES, please e-mail  me (pbc@buffalo.edu) your suggestions by 15 
August 2004 for a new name along with an appropriate acronym. I will tabulate 
the results and have a report ready for the Jacksonville GB.

    If you wish to retain the MICA acronym - please suggest how we can 
improve the number of submissions from our squadrons? 

The current 2005 MICA entry form can be viewed at

Your prompt response to this request is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

P/R/C Priscilla B. Clarke, AP
Team Leader MICA
