We are talking out solutions and you call us out as armchair quarterbacks, nice. :huh:
In other words......be quiet???? I don't get it. I thought that this was a discussion of ideas, not a bashing contest.
Thats what I said! !! Kinda like a tool box topic or safety meeting before work!
Not cool Don!
Right now the office can't even get a few of the District Directors to write a quarterly article promoting the events in their Districts or members that have done well in IMPBA races outside their districts even something for the District they are are supposed to represent and now you expect them to actually write a monthy e-mail? :wacko:
Not cool? I'll tell you what's not cool, it's how people wait until AFTER something happens that they don't like then get on the public forum and *****. That is the ONLY reason this thread has started and everyone on here knows it so let's not sugar coat this. All this stuff about what the board should or should not do, how the DD's should call or e-mail all their members about stuff, on and on and on. Some of you acting like it's all done in secret or something, well it's all been out there in the open people just need to take the time to read the Roostertails and if they feel so inclined to vote. Is it the DD's responsibility to get members to vote? NO IT'S NOT!! Sorry folks but the responsibility falls on YOU to vote, if you have a problem voting then YOU need to contact your DD, the IMPBA secretary or even the webmaster to help YOU out. You are all adults here and certainly capable of sending an email or making a phone call if you need help. Why should it be the DD responsibility to chase down the votes every time there is a proposal?? I mean gee we already get paid so much for what we do right? Sorry Randy if I hit a nerve as I know you're a good guy but this goes on every time something happens that some people don't like and this time hit a bigger nerve with me and honestly it's getting old. Maybe it's time to let somone else wear the shoes, this isn't much fun anymore................Not cool Don!
I give a SIMPLE solution and get called an ''arm chair quarterback''? Was I the same arm chair QB when I took it upon myself to e-mail and phone the majority or my fellow IMPBA members in D1 asking them to exercise their right to vote?
Go deeeeeeep Don ... I promise to throw the ball from my arm chair.
Why not Bill? Perhaps there needs to be a new set of expectations written in the by-laws of what the DD's responsibilities are. If the DD is not doing their duties it is then the Executive Board's responsibility to make sure the DD's are doing what is expected of them. It's a simple e-mail telling members what rule changes are up for vote and ask them to reply directly. If a DD can't take 15 minutes to inform their members of rule changes up for vote then they are not very good DDs.
Rick I did not say we did not have a Good Director........ Paul does a Good job for IMPBA Dist 5 But it is Hard to get the majority of the district wants, needs, input on votes & topics when they dont know the directors position on the topic ????????? Dist 5 has had close to 200 members. We dont need 5 - 6 people secretly voting in the off season on whats best for the entire dist....... I Remember A good friend we wanted to be president of the jax tn club one year Richard Johnsey. He wanted the Majority of the club vote.. to know they were behind him it his Quest to lead the club to a higher level........ It did not go his way, the other candidate won by One Vote out of 25 club members......6 months later that guy quit and the club does not exist today..... 51 percent may win the vote..... But if the other 49 percent that are against and adamant about it ... you will have trouble every time..... Dist 5 has several Good Boaters that could serve as Our Dist Director that are very active in Nitro and Gas Boating....... We would just like to vote as a District.... .
What about before Paul...... Bill? That was another Train Wreck for Dist #5.. We are a large Dist with Nitro, Gas & Electric Interest. Time to put the Dist Director Postiton Back Up for the Dist #5 to Vote ON!!!!!!! I would like to talk about this somemore... Maybe we can do that soon!! Tired of this Bag Over the Head ..... Punch in the Shorts Crap!!!!!!! :huh:
Greg I will set on the hot plate with you. And you are right on things that need to be lined out on the website. I seem to have get my password fixed every year so that I can vote and pay my dues. I do not know why we even have passwords on the site. If new or renewing your membership all you should have to do is go the form and feel it out with out loging on to the site. Check the box new or renewing member. And to vote all you should have to do is enter your IMPBA number and vote. You do not have to let the website do your work for you by having to log on and you can only do this it your a member so that it know if your a member or not. This also sets up a thought of how many good votes there were that never got counted.
