RE: [RC] [RC] non-member fees (was Director at Large) - Alison Farrin
Because non members are paying for the nationwide cohesion, oversight
and level playing field that a national organization provides. The get
a ride where they know what the base rules are. They get a ride that
WILL HAVE VETS. They get ride management that knowingly conforms to a
set of standards that keeps our horses safe.
There's a whole list of benefits that non-members get by attending an
AERC ride and yes, they D**n well should pay for it.

Let me turn that around: how in h*** is it fair to make non-members
pay for the members' benefits? This is the "greed" I referred to
above, it is the members passing a non-member fee to get something for
nothing. The members aren't shouldering any non-member costs, all
riders pay a per-rider sanction fee -- non-members are shouldering
part of the members' costs, and you're d***n right that's unfair.
>Non-members aren't excluded and members whose annaul dues pay for an
>organization aren't taken advantage of. Win-win. No reason to change.
Well, it's a cushy deal for the members, and they make the rules,
alas.
