The USHPA's growth goal of doubling their membership in one year
would mean that they would strive to add about 750 members over the last year.
They appear to have lost 28 members instead. While paraglider membership grew by
about 100-150, hang glider membership (only) dropped by about 150. It would
appear as though the USHPA didn't come any where near its growth goal.
Rick A. Butler () at the USHPA
office who was kind enough to provide these numbers comments:
Remember that these reports, as snapshots, are very volatile; the
numbers change daily as they are processed and monthly as members expire. The
more accurate reflection will be the trend line. We've been working on analysis
to present to the Membership and Development Committee of this data for the last
three weeks in prep for the BoD meeting - - definitely a lot (and I mean A LOT)
of good reading in the packet.
The Membership Analysis that was done is three reports, the traditional
seven-table report that we've always had, a fifteen page analytical look at that
data, and a five page spreadsheet. This comprises the largest BoD packet I think
the office has ever produced.
I'll be sure to publish the data when it is available. Still, I
assume that it will show that we are not meeting our growth goals, no matter how
many pages of analysis are available. Perhaps it will help us understand where
the lack of growth is.
