Don,
I think you bring up a good point. I'm involved in a car club that is
very like C4 in many ways. I recently read a very good article on
this point in its newsletter. In brief what it said was that the
health of such an organization requires rotation of all positions.
Without it, members get lazy and officers start to feel overworked
and unappreciated. Without rotation, the leadership group is denied
the infusion of new ideas and new energy. A thriving organization is
characterized by a large group of people that take their turn and
rotate through all positions. C4 has quite a few people whose
position in the club has outlasted their enthusiasm for the position.
(Ray is not in this group, btw). I'd very much like to see more
people running for positions. How do we bring it about? I'd suggest
that it would be healthy for a few people to announce that they
weren't going to run again. This would create a few wide open races
and bring in some new blood. For some reason, few want to run against
an incumbant in this club.
We've had good Presidents, and we've had more Presidents than
anything else. We need to see such rotation at all levels. Some of
the regional VP's have held the position for a long time. Someone new
should get a chance now and then. The people who leave these
positions can try their hand at a different position. They can also
rotate back in as a regional VP after a term or two. I can tell you I
have more enthusiasm for my VP role than the Exhibit Chairman role.
The latter I've just held for too long. We have so many great members
who need a turn to contribute. We need to find a way to make it
happen.
