(Enclosure 4) NES-20 7 September 2007 NATIONAL EXECUTIVE SECRETARY MEMORANDUM NUMBER 17-07 From: National Executive Secretary To: Weekly Mail Branch Secretaries Subj: NHQ Senior Staff Membership Issues Strategy Session Report My past memorandums of 17April 2006, 3 November 2006, and 11 May 2007 addressed various FRA membership issues and detailed NHQ staff action plans with regard to the Association’s declining membership. In conjunction with these issues, the NHQ Senior Staff met on 15 August 2007 to again discuss FRA’s number one challenge and how we’re addressing it both now and into the future. In addition to myself, participants included: FO Paul Rigby, DADM Alicia Landis, DMC Eileen Murphy, DMD Bob Washington, DMD-D Penny Collins, DLP John Davis and NVSO Chris Slawinski. Key issues discussed / reported at the meeting include the following: The monthly staff recruiting and retention goals for the year are not being met due in part to limited resources driven by cash flow challenges which require minimal membership marketing efforts and limited recruiting campaigns at the Branch level. The staff goal set at the January Off-Site Meeting was to not allow membership to go below 100,000, to get 800-900 new and reinstated members per month and limit terminated members (excluding deaths) to no more than 500 per month. Currently we’re recruiting from 300-500 new members per month and those terminated range from 600-700 per month. At the Branch level only 46 of 286 Branches had membership gains for the membership year that concluded on 31 March 2007 ranging from 1 out of 9 Branches in Membership Group 1 – to 37 out of 137 Branches in Membership Group 5. Regarding the Membership Marketing Budget, last year we expended only 15% of the planned $220,000 allocated to this program line item due to cash flow problems. (Note that 3% was spent prior to the 79th National Convention and additional expenditures followed authorization of trust fund withdrawals.) And thus far in 2007, we’ve spent about 23% of the total budgeted for this program which is budgeted at the same level as last year. The current year’s (2007) budget was structured on an assumed 2.2% membership decline – however, the pending 2008 budget is based on an assumed 3.3% decline which is exacerbated by continuing cash flow challenges despite the replenishment of key reserve accounts with surplus funds from the two trust funds per actions by delegates at the 79th National Convention. A 10,000 piece test membership solicitation mailing focused on health care funding dropped recently and response results are not yet available. Three follow-up post cards developed/formatted individually on our Loyalty, Protection, and Service principles will follow and may be expanded to additional addressees pending analysis of test mailing results. In addition, FRA banner ads are posted on MilitaryShoppers.com web page accessed by 100,000 service personnel and/or their spouses via the Internet. This allows FRA e-mail newsletters to be sent on a monthly basis to the 100,000 subscribers at no additional charge. A 50,000 quantity 3-piece postcard mailing is at the print stage to be mailed within the coming weeks highlighting loyalty, protection, and service as the key reasons for people to join the Association. These will land in the homes one per week for three weeks and encourage joining by phone or web. Additionally, copies will be available for branch recruiting opportunities. To assure that all marketing efforts are as cost effective as possible, a great deal of time, energy and human resources have been devoted to managing data – reducing duplicate records and harvesting e-mail addresses
