I happen to be the treasurer, webmaster and one of the main speakers at
MacXstjylland in Denmark. <
http://www.macoestjylland.dk>
Our small organisation (100 paying members) usually have two meetings a
month in the season (from about late August until beginning of December and
from January until the beginning of May.) We always make sure that there is
a speaker, and usually the topic will take all night.
To ensure that we get a speaker who is prepared to spend a bit of time
preparing the stuff, we have decided on a policy that speakers will receive
300 DKK, appr. $40 for the session, and if they happen to be on the
board(unfortunately too frequently) we pay them 200 DKK. Enough money to
encourage a decent speech, but too little if you don't have an Apple Heart.
We find that if we don't pay at all, we get what we pay for.
Otherwise, it does not matter if a speaker is a member of the MUG or not. If
we have an external speaker, we sometimes pay the travel costs too.
Speeches make up for about 40-50% of our budget, as the active members that
way are getting some real value back from their membership fee.
I guess that if we had a T-shirt or something, it would be a compulsory gift
as well.
