New TRP Member Point System

Hey <<First Name>>,

As was mentioned in The SitRep yesterday and as is on the website here, the TRP has a new Members Point System.  This point system is used to encourage community and event participation.  With the exception of the initial Open Water certification in Foundations, each consecutive course requires a certain number of points to attend. For example, Equipment Techniques and Enriched Air Nitrox cost 8 points each while Science of Diving costs 18 points.

To earn points, a member needs to simply participate in TRP events. For example, attending a Members’ Meeting or volunteering at a major TRP activity (such as beach cleanups, fundraising, et cetera) will net 8 points.  Participating in a TRP dive will net 4-5 points (depending on the dives).  Furthermore, members can host TRP mini activities, such as a TRP buddy or mentor dive, and obtain 2 points*.

This is designed to track with member progression as there are a number of community dives required for each certification level. It also builds a stronger community through encouraging engagement within the TRP family; the more a member participates, the faster they can advance through the ranks! This is healthy for both the community and the individual for providing an efficient and impactful reintegration journey.

With that being said, THERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO EARN POINTS THIS WEEKEND!  Come earn some points to use on your TRP training path advancement!

This event is the Beach Dive and BBQ.  Come hang out, bring your family or a friend, and enjoy some good company, food, and a dive!  Not only will this be fun for you and the family, you can earn 4 points for your next class!  Please mark your attendance (RSVP) here on Facebook so we can get an accurate headcount for food: https://fb.me/e/1tisq3sCO



We're looking forward to seeing you there,
The Staff @ The TRP
