I suppose you have already read this Jim Pinto's analysis of ISA
situation.
As a former Section President, District VP and executive Board member,
I
should say I almost 100% agree with Jim's impertinence.
I tried to initiate changes and infuse new thinking, but the disease
is too
deep.
Non-decision or lenghty middle age stratgegic processes consume
volunteers'
motivation and energy.
I have experienced more frustrations than benefits in volunteering at
ISA
and I am personnally tired and not motivated to continue suporting the
ISA
mission unless significant changes are made.
My only hope is that the top level management is totally dedicated,
experienced, clever and respected, and that everything is possible for
you
as ISA Presidents providing you dare to shake the old boy's club and
impose
your vision and your will to initiate very short term profound
changes.
With my Best Regards
Jean Vieille
