From: Section Chair (on behalf of Section Member Leadership Team)

Dear Member:

For the past decade, our section leadership has worked very hard not to raise the registration fee for the month-ly dinner meetings.

In 2007, Section LC did a thorough analysis, cut down some traditional but unnecessary expenses (e.g. printingnewsletter), and invested all the savings into subsidizing our events (e.g. Dinner Meeting, Quality Day, DecemberSocial) to keep them affordable.

As a result, we increased our monthly participation from 40-60 attendees to 100-130. Our membership alsogrew from 1,150 to almost 1,350, taking our section from the 4th to the 2nd largest.

For the past several years, enrollment in our educational programs, a traditional revenue stream, has been indecline and the section has been incurring losses. As such, we cannot continue offering the same pricing onmember events without severely affecting the quality of our program.

This decision was not reached lightly. We reviewed many avenues to reduce costs before coming to this conclu-sion, such as changing the venue from the DoubleTree to the Wyndham

Our current costs for the events include:

Paying an average of $55 per person to the hotel Pay about $3.00 for on-line registrations (roughly $300/mo)

Pay about $3.00 for banking fees for any transaction. Pay for a token of appreciation to our event speakers Cover parking for attendees (~$12/attendee/event) Give away lot of prizes in our December social Give away 0.6 RUs per meeting

Therefore, I urge you all to take this increase positively and supporting it to keep the section going. Please keepin mind.

We realize that price increases are never welcomed, but I hope the you can still join us in seeing the positive val-ue in the cost to benefit analysis.

Please note:

We are only increasing previously no charge, late and walk-in registrations. These changes will be effective from May 1, 2018.

If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to write to at vinaygoyal@sbcglobal.net.Section Member Leadership will try every effort to accommodate your suggestions.
