Westen my friend I couldn’t agree more. Good quality programming is a major part. If we are an enticing club with great content and programs new membership comes with that automatically. I read Barry’s response which seemed a bit defensive and I get how he feels with all the things that are happening but chip guide seminars and the like aren’t really the enticement they are for members currently knowing about the guide and club.

Speaker slots are great at the convention and I hope we are advertising it to non members and not just to ourselves as we as members already know about the convention. In my opinion any advertising dollars spent on ourselves are dollars wasted. I believe all advertising should be to non members enticing them to try the club and attend the convention, our biggest and pretty much only big event.

Dan Madrigrano, for Vice President of the CCA!
