Land Use & State Association – Patti Evans

State Association:  Current holdings = $12,000 with $2,000 ear-marked for IRC donation.  What would you like to see done with all/some of the remaining $10,000?

1. Participation/interest in IS4X4A is waning. Any SA action requires a quorum of members from clubs. Clubs that are no longer participating or attending meetings.
2. Some ideas discussed to improve participation:
   1. Canvas for ideas on how to get the State Association’s word out to encourage membership and participation.
   2. Club Based Reward Program targeting people found to be championing club and SA’s ideals and land use philosophies & SA could possibly match the reward.

• Nomination > Review> Decision
• Anyone (members/non-members) could be eligible for nomination. Review by Leaders (Club & SA)
