How do
I become a moderator on the NCR Forum?
You must be a valid NCR member, and you
must know your area well that you intend on moderating. Please submit all
requests for forum moderation by PM (private message) upon joining the
NCR and the NCR
Forums.
How do
I become a member of the NCR Staff?
First, you must be a valid member of the NCR.
Lifetime Members are preferred (but not required) for appointment to the
NCR Staff, because of their valid desire
and willingness to commit to a level of dedication, unbridled support of the
NCR, and their obvious love of a Corvette. The requirements are as follows:
total dedication to the NCR, a willingness
to volunteer to help at NCR functions and
events, a leadership ability that does not waiver in it's role, or in it's
loyalty to the NCR, a total love of
Corvette, knowledge and aptitude to do the job you are applying for, simple
computer/ internet skills, access to a computer with internet access, people
skills, NCR knowledge, a good attitude and
personality, a willingness to attend the NCR
functions and events with a mandatory showing for
the annual 2 day NCR Gathering at the NCM
(our banquet and awards dinner), and most of all, a willingness to further
expand the NCR all over the world!!
Does
the NCR Staff position pay well?
Frankly, no; not at this moment. But the benefits are great!! Most positions with the
NCR are voluntary, with different rewards
annually for those who volunteer. Obviously, these rewards and benefits do
include FREE entry to all NCR Events and
functions, including our annual 2 day NCR
Gathering at the NCM (the only exceptions would be something planned by
the NCR that is an exorbitant fee like a
cruise, or trip overseas for the 24 hrs. of LeMans, etc. The
NCR cannot support the expense involved
right now for something of this magnitude.), usually an
award for your work at our annual awards banquet,
significant recognition by the NCR,
including a listing in our newsletter and on the website,
significant discounts on merchandise for sale in
the NCR Store, FREE
T-shirts, FREE NCR business cards with
your name and position on them, FREE comps
including parking at hotels and shows, upgraded rooms when available, the best
parking at NCR events and functions, and
the first of everything that involves the NCR
(including new T-shirts, Lapel Pins, Stickers, etc., etc.). The comps will
usually be picked up by Dave Hale, the NCR
Commissioner, in appreciation for the efforts you, as a staff member, put
forth for the NCR. The pay, or extra
perks, if any, are approved by the staff, and usually proposed by the
NCR Commissioner. Eventually, as the
organization grows, these positions may become normal employed positions, but
for now, they will remain as described above, and work for the
NCR able to be completed at your home.
Please
contact the NCR
if you are willing to help out.
What
organizations does the NCR support?
The NCR supports the
National Corvette Museum through donations to the museum, and
support by the NCR including membership,
etc. The NCR also supports
"Corvettes Conquer Cancer", by donating a
percentage of the registration dues. We stand behind all organizations who
support the Corvette and it's heritage.
What if I have other questions that are not posted here?
You can email the NCR
here, and we may even post your questions
and our answer here.
