So I have been swimming with a masters team since august and have since then paid my usms membership fee at the end of October to be able to swim in a meet we recently had. I haven't recieved my usms card in the mail yet. In two weeks and am going back home from school for a month but need to swim in a structured program and am gonna find the masters team at home and wanted to know if I could still swim with them without my membership card, is there a way to prove my membership without it?
In this case, I am disagreeing with you because we have already done this in our LMSC, found out it was a bad idea for us, and stopped doing it. It basically took running a Registrar into the ground -- and her quitting on us in mid-January -- before we realized we needed to streamline the registration process.
Believe me, you do not want an LMSC to go without a Registrar for any length of time. For my money, they are the hardest working people in the LMSC. Fortunately we currently have an excellent one.
But there is no reason you can't do it in your own LMSC. Go for it. Better yet, back it up by volunteering to be the Registrar for your LMSC.
Nice dodge Chris...this is not about luggage tags per se....but the bigger picture of putting forth ideas that are based on the organization as a whole...and yes I do understand tht all "olitics" are local but we need the big dogs to set the tone.
So tell me how they didn't work? Did you do an anylysis that showed you they weren't providing the "brand" visiblity that over the long term would help more and more people identify with the crazy people they see at the pool everday swimming at 6am?
At this stage we have almost nothing in the way of brand awareness so my point is almost anything can help.
