>This February the Board and Executive of RAC met 
>in Ottawa to develop the planning context for 
>2013 and 2014 and the vision for RAC over next 
>five years. Our last face to face planning 
>meeting was in October of 2012 and we have 
>successfully completed the objectives set out in 
>that meeting; RAC is now solvent and we have 
>stopped the slide in membership numbers.
>
>This February the following key objectives were set:
>
>  * Increase number of active amateurs in Canada
>  * Identify key demographics and increase RAC membership as a
>    percentage of active amateurs across Canada’s demographic mosaic.
>  * Enhance the relevance and respect for amateur radio in the eyes of
>    the public and then leverage that respect with government. This
>    will support spectrum protection, our influence on municipal
>    issues and prevent new attacks on amateur radio privileges such as
>    we saw (and are seeing) in distracted driving.
>
>The foregoing requires that RAC move from a 
>survival to growth mode and develop new 
>resources to support achieving those goals. We 
>agreed to continue to operate in the fiscally 
>responsible fashion that we established in 2010 
>and noted the need to establish new budget lines 
>to support key activities and eliminate the 
>subsidies provided by our officers. We agreed to 
>establish a resource to provide key information 
>support (paper and electronics) for clubs, 
>member and media to support us in achieving our objectives.
>
>*Webinars to discuss our plans in more detail.*
>
>Over the course of the next few months we will 
>be undertaking regional webinars with Club 
>Presidents and Field Service members chaired by 
>the President and the local Regional Director. 
>These meetings will allow us to discuss our 
>plans for 2012/2013 in more detail. We are 
>looking forward to creating this opportunity for dialogue.
>
>More information will come out in the TCA and RAC Report so stay tuned.
