[AlpacaTalk] Re: was AFCNA now secrets
Asking questions should be encouraged. My only complaint is with the
call for involving the FTC (or any other regulating body). And I know
this wasn't your thing Heather, so it's awkward debating an issue when
the initiating side isn't present.. Anyway, I'm sufficiently jaded
when it comes to politics but not for small member-run organizations.
If we're to the point that we need to involve an outside regulator in
our internal activities (the FTC here or the courts with AOBA) then
maybe it's time for that organization to be put to pasture and start
fresh. However, if we're to that point with member questions and BOD
evasiveness, then why not simply elect members that are sympathetic to
the will of the majority? Of course in this case, that takes a non-
conflict-of-
membership, which I know is not always easy to find.
I'm not willing to give up on AFCNA. I think it's a very valuable and
important piece of the puzzle for our industry. If there is truth to
the claims being made, then let's do something about it as voting
members of the organization, not as writers of letters to the FTC.
If you're not a member and you won't become one because you think the
organization is run poorly, then how can you hope to have your
questions heard? Be a member if you think the organization is valid
and of value (regardless of the current board members), then direct it
with your vote.
