Survey - National Membership - Spring Conference 2008
 

Welcome to the USPS® National Membership Committee Survey

 
 1 / 4 
 25% 
The USPS National Membership Committee has been working to create solutions to the USPS membership issue. We need your feedback.
Please note: Questions 2, 3, and 4 make reference to a survey/interview process that may potentially be offered online. Such internet survey/interview questions are yet to be developed, but could include items like: Have you completed a boating course? What are the zip codes of the areas you live, work and boat? Are you willing to contribute time and effort to squadron activities? Please mark you answer in the spaces provided and thank you for participating.
This online survey has four pages - please help us understand your views on these matters by providing answers to all the questions on all four pages.
The questions on this first page are about your squadron, the dues, and the idea of recruiting new members online. Please answer these questions from a squadron's perspective:

1. The National Membership Committee suggests stipulating a standardized fee for joining USPS. How do you feel about taking the average of the fees that are charged and promoting one fee (includes National, District & Squadron)?
Rationale: Allow for a national marketing campaign to be effective.

2. The USPS website receives more than 200 hits per week from internet users. Would you accept an “Internet” recruited member into your squadron who signs up on line, completes interview/survey process and pays online with a credit card?

3. USPS hosts boat show booths and seminars at nationally promoted exhibitions. At the same time Vessel Safety Examiners have direct contact with boaters and similarly are provided an opportunity to recruit. An opportunity to recruit exists at these presentations and venues. Would you accept into your squadron a newly recruited member who completes the interview/survey process and pays dues with a credit card from these venues?

4. Would you accept into your squadron a new member recruited from the internet that initially only wants to purchase a course (New ABC with Electronic updates) and then elects to complete the interview/survey process and pays the standard dues and fees via credit card online?
