June 2018 Monthly Report, Steve Richer, Director of PR
New club building. Working with President Burcin Turkkan, Vice
President Dave Ryan, and Directors Jim Dwyer and Richard Scinta to
follow upon the nearly three dozen prospective club contacts made at
IPW in Denver, focusing on the mostly like leads first.
Media relations. Prepared additional information on the NASC
meeting and various Skal club community projects for use in both
Skal Magazine and the Skal USA newsletter. I continue to provide
news items to Skal International on Skal USA activities for both the
magazine and SI newsletter on a regular basis.
Skal USA member survey on advocacy issues. A Survey Monkey
request for information on issues affecting business was distributed
to all of our members. 25 responded, which was slightly over 1%.
As it was an open ended survey asking for up to three issues, we
received 28 different items. Those cited by more than one response
were as follows: Visa restrictions and freedom to travel with
security, improvements in transportation infrastructure, funding for
Brand USA and other tourism promotion organizations, and new
restrictions on seasonal migratory labor. All of these topics, except
the last one, have been topics advocated by Skal USA. Others
mentioned which would have broad interest for consideration by Skal
USA would be sustainable tourism strategies, protection of historic
and cultural sites, and the impact of higher national park fees on
tourism sales.
SI Washington. I attended our local club meeting on June 27, where
there was a featured speaker on federal per diem travel rates.

Membership Activity
I’m still working with Ken Walles from Skål Long Island who indicated he’s interested in forming a new
Skål club on the eastern end of Long Island to be called Skål Hamptons. Ken recently opened a bakery in
Montauk which has been frequented by celebrities like Ralph Lauren and Jerry Seinfeld. We wish Ken
and Bozena much success.
I participated on a conference call with Catherine Prather who is going to try to form a new club in
Lexington Kentucky. Burcin, Dave Ryan and I took and answered her questions and advised her to
attend a meeting at the nearby Louisville club to get a feel of how a meeting should be run. Dwayne
Huff from Skål Louisville has been very helpful.

-Still working on setting up meeting with the Nashville Club to discuss their membership. A few things
can be done to assist them as soon as possible. Should be completed in the next week or so.

Professional program. Goal is to create communication and awareness on these programs so that our
clubs continue to focus on growing these where appropriate.

connect the two of them in July or August to get the wheels in motion.
