Two New Worker Incentives for 2008! The Board of Directors has come up with 2 new and innovative ideas to inspire greater participation from our members. Beginning this year, a high-quality CRCA long-sleeved shirt with "CRCA Marshal" silk-screened on the back will be presented to members who accomplish the following: 1) CRCA QEs (new unqualified marshals) who achieve their Basic License status 2) CRCA Marshals that work at 75% or more of the CRCA-contracted events at SMP Note 1: Qualifying Event days do not count toward incentive award #2 above Note 2: The 4 event days at Mosport and North Bay will count toward the total days worked, but are not included when determining the 75% participation requirement i.e. there are 22 event days if you include Mosport and North Bay, but we will accept 75% of the 18 CRCA-contracted event days at SMP which amounts to 13.5 days. However, if you are able to work at Mosport and/or North Bay, those days will count toward the requisite 13.5 days.
