I'm not currently in a leadership position in our chapter but the chapter is stuck, majorly, and I'm hoping to find ways to push the leadership into doing more. One major 'issue' is that the current president does not like to 'give money' to the EAA organization. He won't do any of the chapter blasts, purchase any EAA materials, etc. (He's been president for quite awhile and all the guys just go along with it at this point.)
We do a tail dragger fly-in and pancake breakfast once a year, and give Young Eagle rides at that time. I do not think they do anything else all year long beside meet once a month to just chat.
(My first step is to actually attend the chapter meetings on a more regular basic. I help out quite a bit for the breakfast but know I need to do more. I do not fly but I'm all about supporting those who do and getting more people interested in it.)
Suggestions on how to motivate the chapter?
