A Message from the Board: Our Pursuit of Excellence

We stand at the opening of 2019, our 41st year as a club, ready and able to take on grand plans and continue to be a total support network for all RVers. We are guided by a simple maxim:

Excellent member experience

As we continue to grow Escapees RV Club, and maintain our core values, we will focus on our websites, online tools, events, club benefits and customer service, and above all else, community.

There is a lot to unpack in that statement

This club has always been about you, the member, and the realization of your dreams. Your experiences with us, and each other, or simply living the lifestyle in general, are our primary concern. Of course, we have the greatest measure of influence over your experiences with the club and we have the greatest responsibility to ensure those experiences are excellent.

Our Escapees RV Club family continues to grow

Each month, many new people join our ranks and each new member gives us an opportunity to explain how we are a values driven organization.

We look out for each other. We are inherently inclusive and live by the simple tenant caring and sharing. As the Board of Directors, we have an additional self-imposed mandate that we are honest in everything we do.

The nexus of our vision and our values is the services we offer.

And, in real terms, we develop members’ benefits in response to your wants and needs. Through the feedback you send us directly, and in the conversations taking place in our forums and on social media, we try to keep a finger on the pulse of the community. We take the information we learn, how and why you RV, to provide you the best experiences we can.

In this coming year, we will take steps to improve how you interact with one another, and with us

We know there is magic in a good ole campfire conversation. So, we are working hard to host more events, giving you the opportunity to visit old friends and make new ones, in new and varied ways.

We are undertaking grand plans to expand our park system to provide you with more opportunities to stay at campgrounds.

We’ll also continue to pursue partnerships with vendors whose goods or services will help improve your RVing experience.

However, excellence is not exclusively found in grand plans

It is most commonly found in the small endeavors.

So, we will continue to provide you with excellent customer service, something we take extremely serious, so please do not be bashful. Let us know where we can improve by sending us an e-mail or by calling our customer service team at 936 327 8873.

But, also let us know what we are doing well. Your personal experiences matter. Sharing them helps us be excellent.

Most importantly, we will strive to support you as a community, and to facilitate more interactions between you and your fellow RVers. Our hope is that Escapees chapters and BoF groups will continue to provide you with opportunities to meet other RVers who share a special interest, or who hail from the same part of the U.S. or Canada.

So, as we Escapees RV Club stand on the precipice of our fifth decade as a club, our New Year’s Resolution, of sorts, is to pursue excellence in all things big and small, with a mind towards your experience.

And let’s all agree to treat each other well and look out for each other. Caring and sharing and inclusivity are values that should be more than mere words on a page. They should be the heart of our shared experiences. And, if we all treat each other well, they will be.
