Another way of looking at this is to ask:  Is an increase in membership fees necessary to help cover other programs and permit retention of some of the DE profit toward reducing instructor track fees?  I can feel flames already..... hock:

An interesting concept but again not an easy one to implement.  PCA membership fees are set by National PCA and paid to National PCA.  They distribute a portion of those fees to the regions quarterly. To accomplish this RTR would have to put a mechanism in place to collect local membership fees from members in addition to the National fees.  So just like the issue of opting out of receiving De Gasser in the mail, collecting local membership fees adds another layer of back office regiment to accomplish this.  It is hard enough to get members to volunteer to organize an event.  Now we will need volunteer office help as well.
