CHAPTER & MEMBER RELATIONS COMMITTEE

Duties: Chapter Guidelines; Chapter Manual; Convention Manual; New Members oversight; Membership List oversight; Hamfest coordination; QCWA history oversight; Over-the air net coordination; Operating activities initiative - i.e. QSO Party; Service Awards oversight; Member Supplies oversight; Annual Convention oversight; Membership analysis; QCWA joint sponsorship of "Roy Neal Amateur Radio Mentoring Program" oversight


CHAPTER RELATIONS: Create a plan such that all Chapters receive at least one personal visit in a two-year period by at least one Director/Officer. All Members of this committee need to think: "QCWA Be Seen/Be Heard" - by establishing a presence at local area hamfests. Encourage the generation of more Chapters, which will promote more Members. Attempt to personally speak with each Chapter President. Use this contact opportunity to ask for input to the QCWA Journal on a regular basis from Chapters.


MEMBER RELATIONS: Interface with individual Members. Establish a QCWA "Welcome Committee" by either personally calling each new Member or E-mailing them and welcoming them to the QCWA when they join or renew. (Personal phone call is preferred & the General Manager can provide a contact list.) This committee should also contact non-renewals and determine reason for non-renewal. The General Manger provides this committee with a list of non-renewals. When talking with the Members, be it on the phone or E-mail, ask them what we could be doing better as an organization, etc. In this era of declining membership, the necessity of becoming proactive is vital. Report findings & information back to Administration & Finance Committee so 'corrections' can be implemented.
