Well I look at the membership much as We The People of the U.S. voting for our
preferred politicians. We elect the Board to represent us, trusting them to
abide by the membership wishes. Therefore the membership is not the customer,
the dues and event fees can be equated to taxes to support the club. I'm aware
that the big difference is that the Board is voluntary and does not draw a
salary, but the premise except for that is the same as our government. We are
not customers. Perhaps we could consider it as in the national level, the
government works for We The People, with the analogy of the Board being unpaid
interns working for the membership/employer.
Regards,
Pat
