Ragin Cajun Army Podcast RCAF Q&A

[Hudsheen#Fired]

C’mon guys.. This is a great opportunity to get your questions answered. I expect Lee and Hans to be candid, so please, fire off your thoughts.

I have many questions myself.

Why is it like pulling teeth to get in contact with someone from the RCAF? I have sent email after and email and called and left numerous voicemails over days before hearing back.

What are the plans to increase RCAF members?
What are the goals of the RCAF? Example: Do they plan on increasing RCAF members by 10% by end of the 2020 year?

MAT what are the questions you have? I would add one, are there any corporate entities that have potential to come aboard?

My main issue with RCAF / ticket office has been getting in touch with folks. I tried purchasing a tailgating spot and contacted staff on three occasions this past summer to no avail. I've had similar issues in the past with tickets and donating to sports-specific groups (like QB club, rebounders club, etc.) Will there be any effort made to have dedicated reps that we RCAF and season ticket holders can reach out to? A major issue from my perspective doesn't seem to be lack of willingness to spend/donate - it's that those that do have to jump through hoops.

What is the financial goal for 2020 and how do they plan to accomplish it? Be transparent and let the community be a part of reaching the goal.

Please keep member rewards simple!

Are they planning any RCAF events, such as appreciation, socials, or fund raising activities? This connects our members, recruits new members, and encourages a team approach.

[BabbForHeisman]

A bit of a self-awareness check: What are the biggest differences between the RCAF and other programs that we aspire to be like?

“More donors and bigger donors” isn’t an answer. I’m talking about the way the program is run.

I too agree with others posters. Trying to get a hold of someone at RCAF is like pulling hen’s teeth. I just want to know where I can find my RCAF points and who specifically to call/email if there are discrepancies. Also, what is a reasonable time to wait for a RCAF reply ?

Here is some good RCAF news. Someone was recently hired to replace Danica and in her first few days she garnered 3500 dollars worth of commitments. I forget her name but I know she was a Ragin Jazz member during her student days. Lots of new faces at RCAF these days and that may explain some of the issues with getting calls returned. Still, that needs to be corrected and fast.

Also as an FYI, a member of the staff is ill and has been out for a time.

Hopefully we can move forward soon.

They only call back the big fish! Never got a call back.

They recently hired the UL ticket Rep at RCAF. I think her name is Brianna???
