HGAA: Call for Leaders and Founders

Paul H · Posted: Fri Jun 11, 2010 8:44 am Post subject:

I'm pretty sure that last association that was brought about to be a rival/competitor/choice to USHGA was not brought down by naysayers or attempts to derail it. It was brought down by a lack of interest. There were not enough pilots interested enough in it to keep it going. In every organization there are only a few who are willing to do any real work, but there are a lot of people who are willing to tell everyone else how things should be done. It's human nature. That's how the USHPA got into it's present state of affairs. The problems with the USHPA could be fixed, but it's the same old story.....who is willing to do the work? The only time that is seems enough members got worked up enough to actually take action was the recent region 3 recall. Unfortunately that was not what most of us would call a positive action, but it is that kind of emotional response to an issue that is what is needed to change things.

No, my comments are directed at the most basic mechanics of an organization. You have to have the people involved who will do the work not just ride along.

Those people will show up or they wont. Time will tell. Its worth rolling the dice.
The big advantage we do have is, its 2010, and we can run this new org using 2010 technology. Virtually, paperless (at least close to), without a schedule, people work on their own time, etc, etc, etc Ushpa is still stuck in the dark ages.
If built correctly, it wouldnt take much to run it. Something we can slowly peck away at over a long period of time. I already have a volunteer coder, and I bet ill get more Wink

I think we can get a loyal following by listening to and treating people right. Over time it could grow... or not. Like I said before... id rather try and go down in flames, then never know if it would have worked. Ive already had random people pledge several hundred dollars to me in PMs even!

I won't be around a computer for a while so I won't be able to update the list which I assume someone is keeping track of new people that are joining in. I just put it in alpabetical order and hope it keeps going that way so it is easier to see who is on it. I was also trying to just track who was voting for what name but have been kinda swamped at work (friggin work related stuff...the nerve of my employer....) so I may have lost track of who voted for what name. Again, if someone can pick up the ball.

I will be at the bar so you don't want me editing a list anyway. Mr. Green
