  Page 2 –Tarheel Guardsman — June/July 2013 The President’s Report By Bobby Lumsden, NCNGA President (president.ncnga@gmail.com) A s I reflect upon our 52nd Annual Convention, I am truly amazed to be in the company of such a talented and professional group of Soldiers and Airmen. I am truly honored to have been selected to lead the Association dedicated to serving our Outstanding Guardsman, both Air and Army. If I were to thank everyone individually that has helped me, this message would carry on for days. I will simply offer one sincere Thanks to each and every one of you. Each one of you, whether Retired or currently serving, have sacrificed and given much more than words could ever express or the majority of this country could ever imagine. To all those that have ever served on a committee, as a member of the Executive Council, or in any other position within this great Association, I offer a special thanks for your exceptional service to the Association. To the new members of the Executive Council, appointed Committee Chairs, and Committee Members; Congratulations and thanks for your willingness to serve our Association! We all have a lot of work ahead of us so get ready. The Past Presidents and Executive Council Members have set us on a path in which we can reach amazing heights; our job is to carry the torch of continual improvement. I have four priorities for the Association and over the next few weeks, these will be presented to the Executive Council and the Committees to refine and publish. These four goals provide the initial directions for our Executive Council and Committees to begin to work on. Listed below are the priorities with a brief description: 1) Increase Membership: Of course every organization strives for 100% membership of those eligible to join. However, thinking realistically a short term goal of 85% membership with a long term goal of 90% membership would set our organization on a path to success in many areas. Our membership numbers are key to shaping the path to achieve all of our other goals. With increased membership we have a larger voice to ensure our messages are heard well beyond our formations. Also, this allows the Association to continue to improve our financial stability. Not just because with more members we receive additional dues, rather increased membership opens more opportunities for corporate sponsors, advertisements, and other forms of revenue. 2) Increase participation in the Association: Any organization is only as good as its members’ willingness to serve. I am proud of the amount of participation that we currently have; however, we need more. It starts first with attending the business sessions during our annual convention. We need more of our members to attend, so our short term goal is to increase attendance at the 53rd Annual Convention to 350 members. Secondly, we need all Major Subordinate Commands to get more members to volunteer for and serve on committees. There must never come a time when our Executive Council seats are filled by the “last man standing.” Finally, we ask for each and everyone one of you to contact your unit representative or Executive Council member to ask how you can get more involved. 3) Increase Financial Stability: First let me say we are a very financially sound organization. However, the drop in the stock market several years back was an awakening for our Council Members then and is still on the minds of our Executive Council and Finance Committee. We must look for new ways to increase our income. Whether it is offering new types of benefits to our members for fee, capitalizing of e-commerce or a whole host of other means we need to seek out ways to continue to build upon our financial strength to ensure we never risk losing all after a bad turn in the stock market. This goal sustains us for many generations to come. 4) Increase/Extend the Influence of the Association: Our Association has an outstanding reputation within the State of North Carolina. However, we can achieve greater influence within and outside of our great state. By partnering with our Chain of Command, other state associations, NGAUS, EANGUS, and other Military and Retired Organizations; not only the Elected Officials and Bureaucratic Agencies within our state hear our message, but also those at the National Level and beyond. This is the decisive priority for our Association, because without influence our voice will not be heard. Critical to each of these goals is an effective Communication Strategy. We must ensure that our message is reaching our members so we maintain their engagement. To this end, our communication practices must be reformed so that we can meet our members where they stand. With our younger members, this will require us to increase our use of social media and information technology. At the same time, we must continue to use more traditional techniques to reach older members and those that are not technologically inclined. It is critical that we engage both groups because the Association’s ability to thrive depends upon the efforts and contributions of both. Our older members have the experience we need to achieve our immediate and short- term goals. Our younger members, as our future leaders, are charged with carrying our message forward and bringing the Association to new heights for generations to come. So you must be asking, “How can I help?” My response is simple. Do the following three things at least once a month: 1) Talk to your new Soldiers and Airmen about the benefits of the organization and encourage them to join. 2) Talk to at least one Soldier or Airmen in your unit (if still serving) or one retiree member that is not currently a member of the association and ask them to join, sometimes it only takes someone to ask. 3) Review the NCNGA Legislative Action Plan and Legislative Alerts from NGAUS and EANGUS; then make contact with your Representative or Senator about the issue (either by phone, email, written letter, or in person). These things are a start. I will continue to place items in the Tarheel Guardsman that I am asking for your help on, most of which take 30 minutes or less of your time. Please consider helping our Association by doing these and encouraging others to do the same. I am honored to have been selected to lead our Association. I promise to keep our Association moving in a direction that is beneficial for all our members. If you ever have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to let me know.

  Page 4 –Tarheel Guardsman — June/July 2013 Legacy Bridge Program T wo years ago, Active Associate Representative Al Rose introduced a program that is designed to financially carry the Association through our present fiscal transition period. As we move from a system where we depended on our investments and insurance premiums to pay our Association’s expenses to one that will rely on new revenue sources to cover our budget, the Legacy Bridge Program will provide the interim funds to meet budget costs until the transition is complete. Our projection is that this should occur within 4-5 years, and as such it is a closed end program. The short-term plan is to use the income from the Legacy Bridge Program until our new revenue sources come on-line allowing us to insulate our investments so that they are allowed to grow over the long-term. At the end of 4-5 years, the new revenue sources, along with insurance premiums, will be our main income sources and the Legacy Bridge Program will close.
