[QUOTE="nathan arizona, post: 1338780, member: 24215"] Interesting to read all of this as someone who has no dog in the fight and no knowledge. What's interesting to me is how it seems that some things are the same regardless of industries. My experience is that industry associations have a tendency toward in-fighting and also, frankly, toward laziness. The full time leader of the association has to be a driver and the position itself doesn't really lend itself toward that. The folks that care about the industry and who are talented are probably in it, making money as business people. And, if you get a driver in the position, he also has to have to power to be able to bring two fighting sides to an agreement, and that's hard to do when you get a board with egos. (Which almost always happens, because powerful folks are on the board.) My experience is in transportation industry, but this sure looks familiar to me - outside looking in. [/QUOTE]
