Paymaster – Inquired about the new style of the parking passes that hang on the mirrors and he spoke about the re-imbursements. J. Baird<br />
asked for permission to bring his mule to nationals. Permission was granted.<br />
Allegheny – Asked the long range planning committee to consider looking into a once a year national skirmish, possibly in June.<br />
Carolina - Can some general items be voted on via email? Answer: Yes<br />
Central Virginia –On-line publication is good. Possibly add fee for printed copies.<br />
Chesapeake - How will we be billed for 5-man team vs. 8 man teams for skirmishes at Fort Shenandoah? Answer. Adjustments can be<br />
made. Dave Booz stated, “I firmly believe in the long range planning committee. I firmly believe in having goals and objectives, having<br />
an understanding of leadership and concepts. I have debated for a long time whether to say these things and this is probably my last time<br />
on the board so I will just say it. My frustration level is high and the board has driven me over the edge. We discuss details, argue forever<br />
about useless bull, set up committees, and hurt the committees by taking away the power, credibility and vitality away from the committee.<br />
When we look at this agenda of this meeting, it could have been over at 10:30 this morning. We should have sat here and talked about<br />
leadership. We should have said folks “it’s our job to lead, how do we do it?” What do we need to do? What do we need to do to be leaders<br />
of this organization? Where do we take it? Where are we going to be in 5 to 10 years? Some say we do not have to worry about that.<br />
<strong>The</strong> truth is, we have never worried about it enough and we bog down every board meeting. I have been here 25 years in these meetings in<br />
one fashion or another. You cannot say Long Range Planning committee “go do something and then turn it down.” <strong>The</strong>re is no point in<br />
having the committee. You cannot say let us just worry about Fort Shenandoah or not just worry about For Shenandoah. When we set up<br />
an agenda for a meeting, a classic example was the May agenda; the first item was in regards to Mr. Frank’s and his proposal. <strong>The</strong> second<br />
item was how to make money. If they were reversed, what would have happened? We need a logical picture and then we need to stop<br />
stepping on our own feet and loosing credibility with the membership.”<br />
Midwest – Reminded the Board that we represent our regions and we have to make the decisions that are in the best interest of the entire<br />
association. In addition, it is important to remember to make decisions as to what is needed by the organization vs. what is wanted by the<br />
association.<br />
<strong>North</strong>east – Spoke regarding the new range in the <strong>North</strong>east region. <strong>The</strong>re is still a contract with Danville. Franklinville is still safe, while<br />
Danville is unsure. Albert Station has a good potential for a range.<br />
