It's
pretty clear what the rules are now...
1.
The club budget doesn't expand automatically to accommodate
overlooked necessities. Fail to plan effectively, and
the club loses.
2.
Club management can't be a rigid, set program. It must
be capable of adapting to the club's evolving needs.
3.
Competing priorities are not excuses for not being on top of
it. Unfortunately, neither is time, money or people.
A
daunting state of affairs. Unless you're partnered with
someone who understands the challenges in starting-up, managing
and growing a transportation club in a dues-paying, all-volunteer
environment.
From
charter to planning your club's annual holiday get-together
and everything in-between, TCI can offer more assistance to
member clubs than any other source. And the TCI Help Desk
helps assure each member club of predictable results.
As
you will discover, TCI Club Tools are an excellent value (free!),
thereby adhering to standing rule Number 4: Accomplish more
with less.
There
was a time in transportation club history when officers and
committee chairmen had only to please the club president. The
idea behind TCI Club Tools is to please the club treasurer,
too.
