Randy,

Yes, and for the good reason that SCNA is one of the poorest
excuses for a non-profit membership corporation in the city of
Seattle.

When do you plan to hold the annual membership meeting and
election? It's about nine years behind schedule at the moment, I
believe.

Either let SCNA become a real membership corporation again, or
get used to the fact that very few people will donate countless
hours to such a volunteer-unfriendly organization. You've had
about ten years to learn that lesson, that has been staring you
in the face all that time, and clearly haven't learned it.

Lots of people still wish SCN well. But sane people aren't going
to sink a lot of volunteer time into an ongoing mess that your
presidents-for-life are incapable of fixing and, as seen by
their actions over the years and continuing on in the present,
don't want to fix.

Once SCNA returns to the the volunteer-friendly ideals and the
good practices it had when it started, then I think you'll see
some interest again from volunteers.

Give people some time to pay their dues and become members again
(or become members by donating the equivalent amount in
volunteer time as SCN used to do), hold a real membership
meeting and election so that the volunteers can elect new board
members (all of them, since no one has been legitimately elected
by the membership in about the past eight to ten years), find a
cheerful and competent volunteer coordinator, and go from there.
