Hi Everyone, Thanks for the input everybody. Amazingly some of you have already sent an email with your thoughts. We did focus on the relaunch initially and your thoughts on that on acceptable practices will be important to what we eventually adopt. My hope is that for members who might have reservations about joining our events over the coming weeks, that they see our guidelines and are reassured enough to consider participate. I don't think we really touched on this more than a couple times but there will be some folks who just don't feel comfortable participating in the immediate future. Staying home is not a bad thing but my hope is that we can create events where they may reconsider based on respectful and appropriate guidelines for events. Also don't forget feedback on the annual fee structure and website payments. I got a very positive vibe about it from peoples commentary however for the benefit of our board members who were not on the call, it will be a positive reaction for them to see. The delay in starting the fee implementation to give a free event period is something I think will help encourage participation events but your feedback is welcome. I certainly hope a focus on easy events will lead to more events, more members, and offset the harsh financial impacts we have been dealt this year. Your feedback as coordinators will be key in this respect. Finally the video conferencing meeting seems to have been a success. Some hiccups but whether it's Zoom or some other platform, it seems worthy of future consideration. Comments on Zoom Vs others Vs free options are welcome. I'm going to add this message as an event write up in case other volunteers who couldn't attend show interest. Thanks everyone and I look forward to reading your emails.

2020-11-03: COC - 20/21 Exec intros, platform, and Drink from the Boot | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
It's been eleven years since a COC Exec has \"drank from the boot\", and drink we did. Some of us opted for tea, while others opted for something harder. There were some fantastic ratty old hiking boots, some \"really big\" winter camping booties, a Legendary Ed mug, and an ever-classy wineglass. Thanks to all who joined us for the fun, and for giving me the opportunity to introduce our platform of what we'd like to accomplish over the coming year. I invite everyone to come out for our 'Town Hall' on November 25th to provide input into a couple of our biggest questions at this time: - Return to a voluntary donation funding model; - Change how members' \"voting rights\" works. If you can't make it out for the Town Hall, you can still provide your input into the voting rights question here until end of day on Nov 30th. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Presentation:The changes we want to make and why: https://www.calgaryoutdoorclub.com/documents/202011TownHall.p df Survey:We had an online survey (on the COC’s web site), that asked:
Survey Results:
DiscussionRhonda wants to explore what motivates people to pay for a Premier Membership. Some speculation:
Keith asked what the total number of current active members is. Duane advised that using the current definition, having attended 3+ events in the last 6 months, the number is 94. Rhonda asked the premier members in attendance what motivated them to pay for a premier membership
Rhonda asked everyone how they felt about the 4 criteria for active members.
Rhonda proposed that maybe we should tie voting rights to active membership and that active membership be defined by the executive committee. We would then have the flexibility to change over time.
ConclusionMeeting was ended. Rhonda asked anyone who has thoughts to share or knows of anyone who has more thoughts to share to send her an email. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
