2008 Convention

All, I'm thinking about attending convention in three weeks. My reasons are several but most important is that I want to become more involved in USMS and I figure the best way to find out how/what/when/where is to attend convention. Does this make sense? Would it be worthwhile? Paul

  • I propose that we triple membership dues for new USMS members for the 6 months following the Olympics, and then if they quit in that time period, send them a bill for another $500. That would discourage the current lane congestion issues. I propose USAS insititute similar measures but go one step further - if a new member's parent mentions "my child could be the next Michael Phelps" at any time, they have to pay an immediate $1000 to the registrar.
