2013 Planes & Porsches?

[CarreraSupercharged]

As an active participant of the last 4 years of the Autocross club, I will jump in with the sharks (at the risk of being bit),…

I have to agree with Steve and respectfully disagree with the opposition.  I have grown to like the Autocross club and to enjoy its attendees. However the last year was a big disappointment. I have Autocrossed under Steve and Ian and really appreciated the level of leadership and quality of the events they put together (the help of Mr. V was also very well appreciated). The AutoX roadshow events were nicely organized and you could tell some serious efforts were put into it. We have been accustomed to a level of professionalism and quality almost unmatched.

“chairman[/i]:[suP] [/suP]Is the highest officer of an organized group. The person holding the office is typically elected or appointed by the members of the group. The chairman presides over meetings of the assembled group and conducts its business in an orderly fashion. When the group is not in session, the officer's duties often include acting as its head, its representative to the outside world and its spokesperson.�? [/i]

By definition a Chairman is a person that SHOULD represent its member and therefore should be held up to a different standard than regular members. Hence, the quality and professionalism that we are looking for. That being said, the current chairman,  has not only let down all of the autocross participants by deceitfully promising a PNP event last season, but by also lowering the standards and high quality of the club during the last season. The events were not well coordinated; heck the schedule was consistently either wrong or changing. The chairman’s tasks were really not rocket science (after the PNP was canceled), it was a matter of keeping score and posting results,…. even that appeared to be a monumental task and we were lucky if results were posted within a month.

I would say in his defense, that Jon can be a pleasant person, he’s just not committed, and perhaps had different motives for wanting to take on the chair position.

In short I think we should simply hold him accountable for the responsibility he willingly agreed to take on.[/i]
