I think it is a structural issue with how our organization is currently run.

As far as I know, the BOD of a (not for profit) is there to guide the organization and raise funds.
Boards have a Chair Position among others... but the Board hires the Director to carry out the organizations's business and mission.

The Director is given a job description including tasks to accomplish, and is reviewed by the Board once a year as to
how well they handled the tasks.

The Director will then create committees to help with the tasks. In the case of our Club, the convention is the biggest event we do
and there would be an "Event Planning" committee formed with a Chairman and they report to the Director. Likely the Director would
be on that committee as well.

We should also have a working committee for acquiring a space/home.

We should have a committee dedicated to outreach new membership.

The Director usually works with a grant writer to find and execute grants. If we had no volunteers for grant writing, there are grant
writers that work on commission. The first grant is always the hardest!

I think we should be asking more from our members. Can someone please email me at some point and ask me how I can contribute
to the club?
Maybe there are people with resources that we don't know about because we never bothered to ask.Who would make that email happen?
a Director.

I could go on and on... but I'll stop for now. I get frustrated when I hear members chalk up the club to a small quasi-fraternal group that
just want to sit around and play with chips.

I know we could be more dynamic than that, and the club be a governor for the hobby, but we need to have a plan with accountability.

Please excuse me...
I want to go play with my chips now.! No... really! ;)
