[Harp-L] Re: SPAH attendee list

[BluzeHarp@xxxxxxx]

Larry, I completely agree that decisions about SPAH should come  directly 
from a strong governing body.  Once a board and  staff has been properly 
installed they should indeed go about the  business of 'steering the ship'.  We 
need strong intelligent and  thoughtful leadership, composed of people 
willing and able to  make the occasional tough call, and the thousand small 
ones... without  inducing the paralysis of never ending public debate.  
 
I'm not in favor of referendum based governance for SPAH, only  looking to 
stay informed about the opinions and preferences of our  membership.  I 
think it's important to keep in  touch, and that harp-l is a great resource for 
that  purpose.  The exchanges of differing opinions here are full of  points 
worthy of consideration, but at the end of the day I agree that it's  the 
boards job to set and carry out the mission.

These discussions are a result of the new philosophy to open up all  
decision making for this organization to the general harmonica community.   I'm 
not a fan of this type of organizational philosophy, as a strong vision and  
leadership should make these decisions in house.  Too many cooks, etc.
