Fundraising and Membership

Laurie:

*There are currently 66 billable members (a consortium count as one billable member); 39 have paid, 3 have deferred to July, 23 have not yet responded. Those who have not yet responded account for $100k of potential income.
One member who has actively cancelled is moving away from using DSpace in their institution.
Mic currently calls members who are leaving and asked whether members of Leadership would be be willing to participate in contacting vulnerable members.
Kristi - expressed willingness and asked for participation; possibly work on a regional basis.
Laurie - Lyrasis could work to match up Leaders with possible best contacts based on region.
Maureen - for many members the July start year doesn't match up with their institutions budget year.
Laurie - should there be some leeway in this exceptional year?
John T. - unknown autumn enrolments having an additional impact - should we proactively communicate some flexibility?
Pascal - members impacted differently depending on source of funding - how to judge best time to communicate?
Mic - wait until after end June as elections will offer a good opportunity to contact members in different categories
Kristi - asked for volunteers willing to reach out; will provide talking points. This approach demonstrates engagement with the community and an opportunity to learn.
Joao - use economic resources to predict impact on membership.
