I just got an email from DNROI saying 2024 Nationals RO signups are open. The $375 travel reimbursement, free hotel, (some) free food, and $25 per diem has to come from somewhere.It was only a $300 travel reimbursement when I was a Nationals RO last year, so I wonder what those "cost cutting measures" amount to.

$300, are you sure? I wasn’t able to work any Nats last year, but travel stipend has been $375 for as long as I can remember, going back to the first Nats I worked in 2014 when it was in southern Utah.
You're right, I misremembered with A4 RO reimbursement.
Updated name index, cleared up a few things. I'm not sure about the concept of a future "special election" for the vacant BOD members, so I took that out.
Because its a hilarious metaphorical description of the Board's recent behavior in general, and specifically during the recent live streamed meeting, I''ll quote the guys from the Not Another Shooting Show Podcast: "They decided to get drunk, and pull their **** out, at a kindergarten."

The real question isn't whether, or not, the print magazine generates income. The real question is whether, or not, it would generate more net revenue, by eliminating the costs associated with a print version, and going to an online version. The online version would likely be much less.expensive, and so much so that even if gross revenues were reduced, the net revenue would be greater than with the print version.
Frankly, I'm surprised companies advertising in the magazine buy into the fiction that most who receive the magazine actually look at it. I don't know a single USPSA member who does anything other than treat it like junk mail, and just trash it as soon as it arrives.

Are Prez, DME, MD, and DRNOI salaries figured into the cost of the magazine? Because they definitely spend a bunch of org time writing articles for it, particularly Jake.
