Option for "Closed" vs "Open" Activities
There needs to be a better way to handle closed activity sign-ups such as SIG-only outings. When hunting for activities, it is frustrating how many of the outings are actually closed events for a set group of people and not open to the public. Surely there's a way to remove these closed events from the publicly searchable activities board.

Schedule quarterly meetings of all hiking committee leaders to coordinate the scheduling of hikes to match demonstrated demand. .
We need to avoid both too few and too many hikes of the same type, to avoid both long waiting lists and the need to cancel for lack of signup.

Make Sort Stick on Roster SD581
Make it so when you switch sort order to alpha or by role (like instructor or admin on a committee) it stays while you are editing.
It would also be good to have this on the calendar function as well to remember what date you were on.

Add text in manage registration window regarding activities that have closed GH1256
If you get off a waitlist for a field trip and want to remove yourself from one that is already closed it is not clear how to do that from the manage registration window for course related activities.
Please add a tag line to the red text that exists already saying registration has closed to make it say.
Registration closed Mar 11 5:00 pm. Contact leader to be added or removed from roster.

When regional chairs offer to help a member with something, follow through!
I have a road trip to Zion coming up and would have liked to post as global activity. I have been a member for only one year so was unable to post. Tacoma Branch Chair offered to help any way he could and though I reached out twice, I received no follow through. Suggest:
1. Changing rules for activity posts so those who have experience and good activities can communicate to others who may be interested in participating.
2. If you are a in a lead position (regional chair) and offer your assistance, follow through to your membership community. It…1 voteChris corresponded with you about these issues. Please let us knwo if you need anything more.

Leaders of a committee should be able to access old course rosters
From Dennis Miller via info@mountaineers.org
It appears that courses expire which means they don't show up under the course template unless you are course admin.
1 voteCommittee admins can see all courses. If a person needs to work with historical courses, they should be a committee admin.

Improve site wide search SD360
Always show text box with search button in the header of the website, the magnify glass doesn't look like a search button the way other websites do. - suggestion from Focus Groups
In site search show summary view of course, activity and events. Bring search filters over to the left hand side which would allow you to search for activities, events and courses all in the same place. It is important that start date of the activity range is part of this site wide search. Make it so that leaders and admins can search for things like activity templates or…

We encourage you to go ahead and try it out and let us know if it appears there is a filter missing or another way you’d like search results displayed.

Make course materials tab linked to course template rather than individual course GH1260
Right now last year's students can't see the current course materials. It'd be cool to have this linger from course to the next upcoming course so 2nd and 3rd students would have the most up to date information. You could have a folder that contains archive materials but this would be an area that is always up to date, or maybe you could have the option of whether your course template has this evergreen course materials folder or whether leaders want it on a year by year basis. Leaders and admins of courses any thoughts?
2 votesCourse materials can now be more easily shared year to year. Leaders can now also delete and archive materials from their committee area and course material folders

Notification to Course or Activity Leaders when someone registers GH1289
Many leaders have asked for the ability to get a notification of when someone signs up for their trip or course. At the same time, many people are feeling inundated with too many emails and would not want these added to their inbox. The ability to opt in or out of notifications like this when you set up a trip or course has been suggested so I am putting it into this forum to see how many people would like to invest time into developing a solution for this. If possible, maybe people would prefer the choice of either email…
6 votesLeaders can now request to be notified when registrants register or cancel themselves from an activity listing. This option lives on the activity Edit form on the registration tab where you normally enter registration open and close date and enter the capacity for your activity.

Bring Trip Feedback Survey onto Mountaineers.org and include course surveys SD31/38
President Dan Lauren created a trip survey mechanism that operates through a different platform than Mountaineers.org but which provides invaluable information for Leaders about how their trips were viewed. It would be great to make this information easier for Leaders to see on Mountaineers.org rather than another platform with a different log-in. This could then be expanded to courses and allowing committees to analyze feedback from students efficiently through the website as well.

Enhance promo code limits GH1111
As discussed, can you please talk to David about adding a “max use” requirement for our Promo Code. Right now you can add a maximum use per person, but not per code. Meaning you can only use a code once, but then you could give me the code and I could use it (also only once).
Ideally we’d like to create a requirement for promo codes so they can only be used once (in the case of gift membership) which means we don’t’ ever need to go back in and add an expiration date, as it will expire once it…
