Opposed Twin,

I haven’t closely monitored this discussion after its first week of being posted, but, your response caught my eye. I too am a chapter president and I can concur I have plenty to do. What the Council is trying to do is assign some responsibilities to chapter presidents and they in turn delegate those to members in their chapter they know are qualified and will follow through. If we spread the work load to  many people, the personal burden is light.

One of the things we (the Council) don’t have a grip on is the level of talent within our organization. Hopefully chapter presidents do. I have a good idea of the talent within my Florida Chapter, so when it comes time for a specific project, I know who to go to. Certainly within the membership of AOMCI we have people with backgrounds in website development and management, but we, the Council, don’t have knowledge of those. So what we are trying to do is maintain dialogue with chapter presidents through our zoom meetings, and find those talents. We are a volunteer based organization, and we need people with talents to step up and help us become a better organization, —but, we need to know who they are!
