Utah chapter, still trying.

[Ondonti]

Well there needs to be an objective Goal for Utahns to achieve. Everything seems to be subjective here. We have been having actual monthly meets for 4 years.
What needs to be done to take the next step? I will be honest and say that more people could show up, but adding SDAC as an offical name will NOT mean more people show up.

How are chapters supposed to be organized? Do they have to have a leadership? Or can we just have a "secretary" that keeps track of membership and deals with Barry (well whatever has to be done).

I won't be supportive of a group that is headed by someone who does not attend all the meetings.
Imagine the SDAC National Gathering happening every year if the people in charge never show up or plan events.

Indeed having SDAC in a chapter name has never proven to be a new member magnet!

The way the chapter chartering process works is that someone must take the responsibility for organizing the group, planning the meetings or events, and be able to contact folks involved (chapter members) to notify them of the meetings or events.

This person could be called a chapter president, director, secretary, or maybe even Grand Infinite All Knowing Poo-Bah (or the GIAKPB for short). Whatever. Pick a title, any title.

That person should be someone that folks get can along with as he is going to be the main point of contact for the chapter and involved in all chapter activities.

Normally we ask that a meeting itinerary has been established, but that seems to have already been done according to your post. So the next step would be for that person to join SDAC if they are not already a member. This is because any chapter leader or officer must maintain active SDAC membership.

Then he requests that the group be officially recognized as an SDAC chapter. A name is picked for the group. It can be the area served, like Ontario SDAC, or Chicagoland SDAC, or it can be a nickname like the Buckeye or Steel City SDAC chapters. What ever you want your chapter to be known as.

After receiving this information, I will form up the chapter agreement. This agreement is a contract. It defines the relationship between SDAC and the chapter and Shelby American International. It defines what logos and marks of SDAC and Shelby can be used to promote the chapter (on shirts, decals, etc).

I will sign two copies, send them both to the chapter leader. He signs them both and sends one of them back to me along with one dollar ($1) which is a token amount to satisfy the monetary legal aspect. He keeps the other copy for record.

And that is it. A new chapter is born.

Problem is no one seems to want to show up excpt a few of us. lol

[Polygon]

Honestly, if that's what needs to be done I would be willing to do it. I think I'm a pretty agreeable person, I'm an SDAC member, and I'm willing to get a hold of everyone and let them know about upcoming meets.

[CSX153]

Clint for president.


Salt Lake SDAC or Utah SDAC
