Sure it is the people - nothing to prevent them from walking across the room to shake someone's hand. Nothing gets accomplished by staying home either.
You want to change or prode an organization? It is far easier to do from the inside, than from the sidelines. Get involved, stay involved.
Grape.. agreed and I am and I do. But the people that make the decisions and cast the votes in the GA would rather listen to the man that says I'm in charge than the person that says I'm a part of that group, but I have another view.
And becoming a part of a organization will never change what the leader wants to portray, no matter how many of the members want it as long as he doesnt want it. I use the virginia hunting dog alliance as the perfect storm.. No mater what... the org does what it wants in regards to hunting no matter what the members say. Some orgs are better than others and actually listen to their members. Now my comment above about the leadership was pointed at the example I gave, not the vcdl leadership, but it brings up a good question about the vcdl. Does the vcdl poll their members on issues and how the org will represent the issues to the GA? Or is it strictly a board decision? Are the board members appointed by Phil? or are they voted in by the membership? How do the members get a voice besides perhaps attending a meeting and a view concern getting lost in the shuffle?
