Free Membership for Active Trip Coordinators Policy

This clarifies the long-standing policy of granting free 1-year membership renewal to active TCs, as a reward for their volunteer efforts. Any active Mosaic member who leads at least four (4) events during the preceding year of their membership (not calendar year) is eligible for a renewal of their membership free of charge. Each free membership will be of the same type (individual, family, etc.) as the member held in the previous year. There is no limit to the number of free memberships a member may receive, as long as they continue to qualify each year. Qualification for a free annual membership will be determined from the shared records of both the membership and program directors.

The following guidelines shall be used to determine eligibility:

• Only events properly listed in the Shofar may count towards a free membership.
• One event credit shall be given for each event listed in the Shofar
• If an event has two or more TCs, each will receive the full credit they would be entitled to if they were the sole TC. This is only to encourage apprenticeship among TCs, it is expected that this provision will not be abused.
• For all events, the liability form must be returned to the membership director to receive credit for the event.
• If an event is cancelled due to weather, full credit will be given if the membership director is informed of the situation. If an event is cancelled for any other reason, credit will be given at the discretion of the program director.
• Service on the Board of Directors or as an activity coordinator counts as one event credit, as long as it extends to the end of that person’s term of service.
• Extra event credits may not be carried over past a member's renewal date to count towards a future free membership
