Today (last night) the members of the SWVEA were suddenly presented with a new constitution and a ballot to vote upon it by Monday. Unfortunately there was no warning, there was no discussion about why changes needed to be made or what the changes should be.
Change is good and good change is better. A constitution is the heart of an organization and that is what the SWVEA is. An organization is just that, organized with a set of rules that ensure the smooth running of the organization and the rights of its members.
If the rules don't work or are no longer appropriate then the members work for change.
Sometimes, this blog becomes a forum for my rants. I think that it is an appropriate forum for that. Please don't be offended and please feel free to join in. Or tell me that I am all wet.
Our current constitution awards a lot of decision making power to a small group and the proposed one gives even more to the same small group. There are no checks and balances for the budget.
