Thank you all for your comments.
The overall concept of this thread, taken from the opening post, was if the "addition of ZR Corvette generations lends a new perspective from which the C4 ZR-1 will be viewed", thus contributing to our mission of "Keeping the Legend Alive."
As Dominic stated, the Board is looking for the sense of members on this issue. There would be much work to do if we received overwhelming support of our membership to actively expand the Registry. Our main focus remains "Keeping the Legend Alive," and this was brought up as a way to do so by becoming involved in the hype around the next gen ZR.
While our anniversary year events are always very well attended, our off-year events have increased in numbers each year since 2013 - both for Carlisle and the Gathering. We work to make these events as best we can, and welcome your constructive recommendations. We've received overly positive comments about both events this year from attendees, but there's always something that we can do better. I welcome your constructive feedback to me at
president@zr1netregistry.com. I believe our goals are similar - working together to make this the best organization it can be.
Know that your Board of Directors contributes a lot of time to this organization, all while balancing daytime careers and family time. We are a non-profit organization and have no full-time employees. The Registry has operated since inception by having each Director carrying a significant portion of the operational workload, as well as through members who volunteer to organize events for the benefit of the community. In doing so, no Director takes a dime from the Registry for any of their work, travel, or use of vacation time to orchestrate and attend these events, yet it is a very rewarding job. If you want to contribute to the Registry to make it better, we'd love to have your help – actively running events, contributing ideas, writing articles for our quarterly publication, identify items for group buys, etc. The Board will consider all recommendations.
That said, I ask that this thread remain on topic, asking for your opinion regarding the expansion of the Registry. The Board is interested in your opinion. If you have any comments, concerns, etc. that you would like to address, please email me -
president@zr1netregistry.com - I want to know what's on your mind and happy to discuss your concerns. I believe all of our interests are the same - "Keeping the Legend Alive."
Regards,
Mark
