What’s the possible ROI on free RCAF base membership the first year after graduation? Just a thought.

Who knows? It hasn't ever been tried and would be a good idea.

That’s been postulated for years. Seems not to be a thing that the university believes benefits the university

I’m not sure about the RCAF but I know with the Alumni Association you can join as a recent grad for $25 instead of the normal $50 in the first 5 years after you graduate. If the RCAF did something like that, I think it would help.

Do you think it would be smart or a good idea to have someone local or an alumni with connections run the RCAF?

Absolutely. We need national connections for large donations, but local people need to be in charge of cultivating smaller donors.

I started at $50 3 years ago. Went to $100 on year 2.
I am at $300 which is all I can afford.
We need many more like us. 1000 $300 donors gets you $300,000.
How many actual Alumni do we have?

This is how you actually build your donor base..

We definitely had those in the past, believe one might be Gerald Hebert.

Time probably has passed him by.

Gerald still works for the RCAF but in a limited role. His wife's health is not good.

I don’t know if Peanut would want to move or not, but he could be a former alumni that could boost both the small and large donations with the connections he has. He’s also a great ambassador for the university

Our RCAF team needs to first worry about retaining existing members.

I contribute monthly and it blows my mind that every year, my membership donations cut off after the 12 month commitment and I have to call THEM to renew. That should NEVER happen.

Pretty sure he’s still doing that FBI thing.

Crazy. Most other subscriptions automatically renew unless you cancel them. Wow. Time to update that.
