Require Group Leaders to respond to emails and/or phone calls
I was recently signed up for a kayak paddle from Boston Harbor to Hope Island. Two days before the trip I had a serious hiking accident in ONP which resulted in injury where I could not participate in the paddle I had signed up for. I emailed and called the trip leader several times and left messages telling him I would not be able to make the trip. I requested a confirmation that the message was received. Instead I was left wondering if the kayak group was going to be waiting for me to show up. I found this less…

Website link incorrect
On the "Committee Roster" page for Seattle (CommitteeList.cfm?branch=SEA) the link at the top for "Seattle Branch website" is incorrect...it should point to "mountaineers.org/seattle".

Offer whitewater kayaking
Whitewater kayaking. The one epic sport that the Mountaineers don't yet have. Some of the WORLD'S best rivers are super close to us!

Qualified Youth Leader
The text "Qualified Youth Leader" appears in trip listings and also Roster Detail pages. That wording is ambiguous, and it makes it sound like the *leader* is a youth. People have told me they haven't signed up for trips because they thought the leader was young.
It should probably be rephrased, here are a couple ideas...
"Qualified to lead youth"
"Qualified leader for youth"2 votes -
fix the display of the e-Communities section after clicking "set as start page"
After I chose "set as start page" then clicked on "My Homepage" (in >My Homepage > Community Homepage > View News) the top banner (Get Outside & Explore, Learn | Conserve | Youth & Family | Community | etc.) now overlays the My Community News and My Communities frames so I can't see part either list.

YOU SHOULD HAVE A SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM SO LOW-INCOME PEOPLE CAN AFFORD TO JOIN AND ENJOY THE OUTDOORS.
LOW-INCOME FAMILIES CAN NOT AFFORD YOUR HIGH MEMBERSHIP FEES.
IT IS A SHAME YOU CANNOT HAVE A SLIDING SCALE.
ANYONE WHO BELONGS TO THIS CLUB IS RUDE AND MEAN AND FULL OF THEMSELVES JUST BECAUSE THEY CAN AFFORD TO BELONG. I HAVE NEVER MET SUCH A LARGE GROUP OF PEOPLE WHO ARE SO FULL OF THEMSELVES.
YOU SHOULD TRY LETTING IN THE OTHER CLASSES AND MINORITIES.
CELEBRATE SOME FINANCIAL DIVERSITY AND MAYBE THE RICH STUCK UP PEOPLE WILL LEAVE.
ONLY RICH WHITE REPUBLICANS CAN BE A MOUNTAINEER.
THAT IS SAD.

Why vote in the board of trustees election
Why bother to vote in the board of trustees election? There are four candidates for four slots. That's not an election, that's a rubber stamp for a slate pre-selected by the board. This kind of "election" doesn't encourage participation by the membership - quite the opposite. There should be a real choice, not a fixed slate.

Add "gender" to the exportable data for trip participants.
I often don't know the gender of people on my trips, especially if they are from other countries. This is important and useful when I'm looking for someone at a P&R or when referring to someone in an email (he or she?).

More hikes that do not require that you are participating in a course
It is becoming frustrating that a majority of the available weekend hikes are only for people involved in the wilderness training or conditioning series courses. It appears that the majority of challenging hikes are for courses. Other members not in these courses have also paid to participate in activities and it would be nice if there were more hikes available for everyone.

Leader regesitering a participant easier
Make registering some one for an activity simpler. For a leader to register some one for an activity there was no less then 7 clicks to get one person registered. More then a little excessive.

have a FAQ that defines "pace"
Spent way too much time looking for it with no luck! I found the FAQ on the "difficulty" ratings for hikes/backpacks, but I thought there also used to be something that roughly defined what each "pace" meant. This info might be helpful for new members who aren't quite sure if they'd be able to keep up!

Make it easier to track recently added events
As a basic climbing student I'm trying to regularly check for new climbs, and the website is not helping me at all.
Currently there's no easy way to see recently added events. What would help is being able to create RSS feed from search results (like it's done on Craigslist, for example). This will automatically implement "event alerts", which other people requested, since there are many online services that can send RSS updates to e-mail. Or, at least you can add sorting search results by date added.
Other useful feature is sorting search results by registration start date.
