    what do you believe we could try to bring on more members?


    please explain fully and yes the Board Of Directors are watching these post.

    It will take a large army to fulfill the Vision of the NPCA, and we need your Help!

    As a member it is most important at the Board members and Directors are held to the highest standard. They should undergo a complete back ground check along with a credit check. Their job is to represent all of the membership. We will lose all credibility with The Department of Transportation if we allow Board Members or Directors to go uncheck. We can’t accept board members that are delinquent pay their bills or take care of their obligations or have any criminal backgrounds or drug history. We should hit the reset and start again.

    A dream is just a dream. A goal is a dream with a plan and a deadline.

    I do not agree with not having members who have prior convictions for anything. When the debt has been satisfied through the courts then who are we to continue punishing someone. I also am not certain how I feel about members who currently owe others money. How much money is it? Are they trying to repay? Is it an isolated incident? Is it a pilot car fight for drama? or Are there multiple payment issues? Nothing should be cut-and-dry. Are we becoming our very own pilot car judiciary organization? I don't think so.


    I personally have a felony conviction from years ago that I am always open and honest about. I work with Local Police, State Troopers, State Lawmakers, Driver's Education classes etc on a daily basis and not one of them have an issue with my past. As a matter of fact, if the trooper is behind me all day I always joke with him about running my tags and finding out all the good stuff to keep him entertained! No one feels threatened by me and they know I am all business, not to mention a great person who is awesome at what I do. I hold myself to a higher standard than others BECAUSE of my past.


    I also find that those who hide behind anonymity usually have ulterior motives or are feeling guilty themselves about something.


    Just my 2 cents.

    As to the subject of a criminal past it is cut and dry, one was convicted for breaking the law . That is cut and dry, but what offense, that should be a Board decision to decide will it negatively affect the organization if that person is given a position in the organization. It is not about how members feel, it is about the credibility of this organization and how it will be affected. I would think that the future and growth of the National Pilot Car Association is tied directly to the people that represent it's members.

    Building a membership can be done in various ways. My background is in not-for-profit television. As the membership manager, we sent membership letters out from magazine address lists we purchased for that purpose. Certain demographics can be targeted fairly easily in this way. In working for public television, volunteers were a HUGE part of our on-air membership drives and live events. We drew on-air talent, telephone bank operators and even studio camera personnel from our volunteer base. To fill telephone banks, we would approach clubs, groups, or businesses to man the phone bank for a shift. In return for this service, we gave them an on-air thank you. This reached many people. Maybe current members could gather a group in their area to man a public t.v. phone bank, print up an NPCA banner to hang on the front of the phone bank desk, and maybe even prepare a little spiel in case the talent asks about our organization. All it costs is time and printing a banner (unless we already have one.) 

    In addition, we could create a few :30 spots for Public Service Announcements on various radio stations. I believe these are still free to non-profits.

    A little ad or two well-placed in industry magazines and on Pilot Car websites couldn't hurt, either.

    As a non member, par using your site to gather info and advise about this business, I see no content that really explains anything about what y'all do.  Except your NPCA decal. If you want to attract more members, then I suggest adding meat and potatoes to your content

    Hello Guest!

    As the new Secretary of the NPCA, I agree that we need more "Meat and Potatoes" on our page, and we are certainly working to get that done.  With the loss of our previous secretary, things have just been moving along slowly, but I am presently learning what I can to make our webpage more enticing and filling it with information that will help everyone in all stages of running their business, with the most up to date information on rules and regulations, State updates, new members and members only information, and corporate sponsorship's.  Keep checking back, but just so you know, We are shooting for the beginning of 2018 to have a helpful, informative and innovative webpage for you to peruse. (I have had a lot to learn :-)) SO don't give up on us yet!  

    Stay safe in your travels and we will see you again soon.
