Hopefully you have had a chance to meet some of our newest members this month at our New Member BBQ. If not, you can catch up with them at the Holiday Dinner on December 1st at the SLO Country Club. Sign up is through MSR.com with a cut off of November 21st. That would be tomorrow as I write this memo. IF you forgot and still want to attend you can contact our President. She may have a cancellation you can fill.

As membership director I attended a Webinar put on by the National Membership Director, Jim Hemig. It was an hour long program full of great information. I can share just a little here with more to come each month.
First topic of business was “What is our (PCA) market Potiential in North America”
They have provided a breakdown by region that includes Canada, on our PCA website. You’ll see that we have about 20% of the total Porsches on the road. That means that 80%, or about 450,000 cars are not members. 30% of them are “classic” Porsches, and 34% are 4 door. Classic meaning pre 2004. Who would have ever thought?
I’ve run out of space in this month’s newsletter so I’ll pick up next month with topics such as:
How to retain members.
Survey of members
Personal interviews
Referrals from dealerships
Increasing membership in PCA Juniors
Finding Porsche owners using social media
Leverage using the Web
See you at the next event.
