HGAA: Call for Leaders and Founders

I'm sorry. You are way ahead of me - which is why I wanted YOU on the Transition Team! Smile

I think we should end up with two topics on hanggliding.org:

1. A continued call for new Founding Members (and eventually regular members).

2. A topic that reflects what's going on with the HGAA just to keep it visible for people who might be interested but who don't visit that site so often. It might also help people to see that we're an open organization and making positive progress.

Now you could leave the original Call for Leaders and Founders to be #1 above. That's good because it will continue to contain all the names and welcomes of new members who join through hanggliding.org (both past and future). I like retaining that history of members in one topic.

You could also leave the other topic as the "ongoing updates" topic. But that's more up to your preferences. It doesn't fit that role as well with its current history.

Actually, the more I think about it, the more I think we should not merge them so they'll show the history as it happened (sometimes they do reference each other). So let's just keep the one where everyone signed up alive and create new ones for specific purposes and lock the old ones when we're done with them. You can even park them in the basement if we're using up too much front page space. I appreciate that you've allowed so many threads as it is. Thanks.

Not to put more work on SG but it would be a lot easier if we could either establish a completely seperate members forum where HGAA members could log in and take care of biz, or setup a different site for the HGAA members to log into and keep hanggliding.org free of HGAA voting matters etc. It is a little confusing with the thread names etc.

I probably won't have much to say about who to vote for because I don't really know many of the candidates, but I will help out where I can and definitely pay dues to kick start this thing.

My 2cents.

Let's not shut down this shop yet!

I've noticed a LARGE oversight in the founding/transition team members. There's not one woman in the group. Shocked

I would like to encourage as many of our women pilots as possible to join the ranks of the founding members of this new Association. Also, there is more than one woman pilot who I'd like to recommend for the transition team.

But, as they say, you have to be in it - to win it.

What say you, ladies? It would be great to have some balance to our competitive male egos. thumbsup

Hi Dennis,

I think once we elect a Chairman of the Transition Team that will help bring some order to this process. Sorry it's been a bit of a mess, and thanks for wading through it.

Count me in as a Founder. I have several ideas that I will post in a separate message as I agree with HGXC...this message has gotten so far off topic it's incredible.

I disconnected the front page.

The whirlwind of activity is exciting... it says something.

That said... I may have a good solution once we move to the HGAA forum for WORK stuff.

To get really focused, I will give the chair the sole power to create new threads in the WORK forum. The chair will decide how many threads in parallel MAX will be allowed so we stay focused on a prioritized TODO list.
