As small as KCBS is in the big picture of organizations, a 12 member board creates the very frustration that we see in everything KCBS. If it were to drop to a 5 member Board, and policy and administration was developed from day to day staff and directed by a board, then maybe KCBS could evolve.
12 members only meeting once a month and depending on a 3rd party for its growth and survival will never see anything more than it is now.
Vote for whomever you want, the process guarantees "Stockholm Syndrome" for every member elected.
There are some members on the current board that I consider friends, and its easy for me to tell which ones have the Syndrome.......
I still plan to vote for 4 candidates because I still believe as flawed as it is, its the best thing going for us that love this whole passion of competition BBQ.
