I do like the idea as well.  As Patrick suggested, I think it would be helpful to crunch the numbers (with assistance from the home office to understand the extent of expenses, etc.) and figure out an accurate number for a dues increase.  Then, selling that dues increase to the membership is a challenge.  I think it could be met, but it would be a challenge.


It is an idea with merit, but it really needs to be spelled out into a proposal, as Patrick also suggested.  I'm also in favor of the idea.

Make the National convention a member benefit.
  While brain storming with some fellow techs this idea came up.
This is Carl Meyers idea and its brilliant!!! The Guild can put on one spectacular event. Here is how. Raise the dues $40 a year per member. Use that fund as the convention trust fund and only that. It can not be spent elsewhere via making a bylaw to protect the funds.
 The cost to come to a convention is now free. There is funding for instructors and cost of all kinds. Yes, some marginal members will drop out but this is an easy sell to existing members and one the biggest incentives I can think of for new folks to join the organization in the first place. 
 Now go ahead. Pour cold water on it. But really, lets discuss it seriously.  Its time for some outside of the box ideas
  Sincerely Dale Erwin
