This debate about whether the TCA should operate more like a business or as a non-profit is reminiscent of why I usually throw the National Headquarters News in the recycling bin as soon as it arrives. I have never been a part of an organization whose bylaws are amended several times a year after protracted debate. Ever hear or rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic?
Now I realize that by tossing the HQ News I am missing out on having a member complaint form readily at hand, parsing the nuances of the latest iteration of the bylaws or wading through a 'publication' that is at least 80% advertising sent to me from a Non-Profit organization.
As my last post suggesting that the TCA and the York show should become more welcoming and friendly was deleted by the moderators I am sure this one will not last long so let me make my point and hope at least a few people see it.
As a non-profit the TCA can act as a business where doing so would result in greater success. Just like I am sure the TCA has those new fangled gadgets called 'komputers' in at least some of its offices it would have greater success if it were to do more to attract additional members and spent less time on rules and bylaws.
