Proposal
A person who leads 3 or more club trips, each of which has 4 or more participants, will receive a free membership for the next year.
Rationale
it is challenging to attract volunteer trip leaders. For an activity program, e.g., skiing or hiking, to succeed, it is essential to have about 8-10 active trip leaders. This proposal may cost the Club about $300 per year in reduced membership fees from leaders, which may well be worth it, since, at the extreme, if there are no trip leaders, there are no activities, and eventually no members. In addition, having more leaders who are more committed might help attract members, which would offset the loss of membership fees from the leaders.
