The first Affiliation Agreement Task Group is set to meet at the GCSAA headquarters in May. The group will take a look at the document which discusses the relationship between affiliated chapters and the GCSAA.
Chapters are non-profit organizations separate from the GCSAA, though we have a mutual agreement on many fronts. For example, local chapters have their own boards and volunteers, yet many of these individuals serve at the national level with GCSAA. Currently, there are shared membership levels for Class A and Class SM members, which is outlined in the affiliation agreement.
The agreement document has been extended over the course of several years. It's time for chapter executives, chapter members, GCSAA members and representatives from the GCSAA board to ensure our affiliation agreement is current and fair for both the local and national organizations.
Chapter outreach has seen an explosion since the last affiliation agreement revision. It is the vision of the Chapter Outreach Program to successfully form the "we" between local chapters, members and allied groups. That's a monumental task, but looking at our current affiliation agreement is a step to ensure this vision is reached.
Following our May meeting, the group will begin crafting a revised document. Ultimately, we hope to have a new agreement ready for review at the Chapter Delegates Meeting, with approval by the board of directors later this year. Plans are for the new agreement to be in effect for 2016.
I will provide outcomes of the event and welcome any questions you have. Is there something you would like the task group to discuss? Please contact me at srandall@gcsaa.org. I look forward to hearing from you.
