Has there been any talk of having regional rallies instead of one big mambo national rally?
There are TONS of regional rallies, as well as the National. You get it both ways!
(I know what you're asking, but why would the MOA want to compete with the local, chartered clubs? Seems mighty counterproductive.)
For Me as a new member, I will be going to the National Rally in Wy. ( PS. I will have a good time, come rain or shine and if I tent it- sleep in a motel or drive to save money. It is my trip to plan. I did not sign up for a total package tour)

I've suggested a East/West or North/South split with the rallies about a month or two apart and it went over like a lead balloon. Such a split would have addressed the two largest problems keeping people from attending. The distance to get to the rally (according to a poll currently going on) and finding suitable places that can handle the number of attendees. Each would be about three times larger than the next largest BMW rally and it would allow diehards to attend two rallies instead of one.

The primary problem with having 2 major rallies a month or two apart is the volunteer base. It takes many dedicated volunteers (we have 90 chairs/co-chairs) right now, and that's only the tip of the iceberg. Members volunteer countless hours to insure our rallies are a success. I'm not sure the volunteer base could handle two major events in a short period of time.
It has been suggested in the past (more than once) that MOA host multiple events in place of the one big event. But, with a limited volunteer base (yes, believe it or not, not that many people are willing to give a weeks vacation to help with an event, let a lone spend a year planning the event) it is not practical at this time.
