We are looking forward to working for the Alliance again and two is always easier than one. The first, of course, is that it is becoming more and more difficult to entice members into leadership roles. The core group of volunteers available is becoming smaller in all organizations that depend upon volunteers to carry out their missions.
Time is the greatest factor and a very real one.
Another way to look at this is that there are many who do view the Alliance as a very worthwhile organization and want to see it continue. We are optimistic that we can provide programs and education for our members as well as the opportunities to advocate on legislative issues. Providing for camaraderie is a very important aspect. We cannot change the availability of time but perhaps we can help make the Alliance a priority for our members as they find discretionary time. At the gun, they all started out, not exactly in a dash, but with a relish to run the race to the finish and win.
