[arrl-odv:32890] Life Member update

Marketing completed the research study to evaluate the number of Silent Keys list as Life Members. We were trending towards a number of 2,000 and ended up at 1,399. All of these members were removed from active standing as Life Members during September. Fortunately, increases in recent activities nearly made up for the loss during September, but we still have work to do recovering from the stoppage of chasing renewals from the first half of the year. We are nearly 2500 members off plan YTD but will continue working to close the gap through year end. David

All of these members were removed from active standing as Life Members during September. If you checked your Division numbers, that's why so many Divisions showed negative for September.

David, would it be possible to get a breakdown of that 1399 number by division? I think I asked this once, but if a SK report is sent to HQ was that being processed by membership? Mark, HDX On Thu, Oct 14, 2021 at 9:45 AM Minster, David NA2AA (CEO) < dminster@arrl.org> wrote:

Mark, I told David I would take this one. We do not have this group broken down by division. Any viable SK information HQ receives is processed into our membership database.
