While we have several specific tasks, projects and objectives, below are our core pillars of focus...
Expanding the support to our Chapters is a top priority. As former Chapter COs, we are both aware of how much STARFLEET needs strong, vibrant Chapters. An improved, accessible recruitment toolkit is at the top of our list. The current administration has laid the groundwork, but I believe there’s an opportunity to grow these resources exponentially—creating modern, accessible, and eye-catching tools for members to use in their communities.
The Membership Database isn’t where it needs to be, and I intend to make it a primary focus in my first year. I’ve been vocal about this issue at the ECAB level, and I’m determined to see decisions finalized and progress made.
While it’s a bold and potentially controversial goal, I believe we need to engage with the rights holders of Star Trek. Gaining official licensing could clarify our position and expand opportunities for the organization. It won’t be easy, but I believe the long-term benefits are worth the effort.
