Track workouts going well, will end in October.
David wants to try the Monday night runs at REI; hoping to build some volume there. He thinks this encourages faster runners to join us. Dave C said great, but it’s not focused at the core of the club.
Membership
our email list is difficult to work with. Want to use something different. Want to try MailChimp – they let you do up to a certain volume for free, then charge for emails beyond that. Eric is going to start out with the free offering (up to 2k addresses and up to 12k messages a month) and see how it works. Dave C and Steph work with Eric to use this.
Discussion for Next year activities
– membership keeps dropping
– energy on the board is low – people doing too much
– need to have people focused on the key roles
– talk about who should write up the roles
David reflected concerns about marketing frequency and activity – needs to be more consistent, can’t miss ads.
Next month – discuss board roles and who wants to do what.
Dave C send out email asking people to review their roles, write up what they do and how much time they spend, and come to meeting prepared to review and be ready to say if you want to continue or do something different
