My only problem with some of your plans is they involve so many external individuals = more people to coordinate/give attention to. There are already complaints that people don't feel welcomed despite what we do. How can you engage people that have been around previously but haven't been active?
There are over 200 people on our email list, some who are old, some who are new and over 50 new sign ups from student org night. Some of them never return, some do, like Matt Wolford who i remember speaking to at this past years student org night. I personally ran out of ideas other than just personally hunting them down and asking them out (and even then i miss people i can only talk to so many people - that includes the other 3 officers), so what are some other ways you think you can reignite inactive members? What about from our showker meet? There are always tons of people but it seems some always dwindle. Even Ryan, Taylors "little," ran off to go join a frat. Are you going to circumvent that?
Take a look at last falls event list (its in your email) and I think you'll find plenty of events to build on. I like the new ideas you're going for but don't get lost in trying to organize new things and then end up not doing that many things. We have tried and proven fun times so you have something to fall back on just in case.
I also love the idea of plenty of outside time but that really only applies in the first few months of fall semester and the last month of spring which includes finals week. Most of the academic year is spent during the winter and no one wants to stand around in the cold outside if they don't have to. I recall showing up to a convoy in R1 when it was cold once and we all sat in our cars and stared at each other instead of getting out in 20 degree weather lol. What inside time ideas do you have to bring members together in the cold months, sorry if you mentioned this, i just tried to quickly skim your ideas.
Other than that I really look forward to seeing more of us out at the track since you seem pretty serious about that and so do the other guys running! Awesome Josh! Good luck brother, i like it!
ALSO, regarding doing our own auto-x... If y'all can pull of renting out Shenandoah next year :bow: :bow: :bow:
