PPGNY Membership Drive
GOALS Doubling > 10 new members per month (good for a free dinner
meeting)
Simplification and relaxing of the “stringent” acceptance rules for new members (it took me over a full year to be processed as a new member!) This should be clearly identifiable as a revision specifying entrance requirements that are much looser than existing rules.
Broadening of entrance requirements to embrace students, wanna-be and start-ups
