Affiliation relationships
While an affiliation relationship is the one I am advocating in preference, I am however open to other forms, that saveguards LUV’s status as an independent entity.
Affiliations are proven successful model of relationships. They exists in the sporting world for example, where by clubs are affiliated to a peak body representing their sport. They allow each organisation to focus on what they do best and allow for better coordinated actions to take place amongst them.
A bit closer in some ways, but this is also the relationship between the Wireless Institute of Australia and radio clubs. Clubs are affiliated with the WIA, and can obtain public liability insurance through the WIA, so they're covered when running public events. I can't recall if there's still a requirement for a certain proportion of club members to be WIA members, there can also be charges for non WIA members. In short, affiliation is worth investigating, and there might be some details that could be thrashed out. It might even score LA more members. :) -- 73 de Tony VK3JED/VK3IRL http://vkradio.com
