USBC & WBC... where did everyone go?

I just returned from the SCAA meeting in Minneapolis and learned that most of the Europeans have resigned from the WBC Committee and there have been multiple, key resignations from the USBC Committee...

what's happening?

Any help here folks?

best,
Chuck

Glad you saw the humor. I wasn't "literally" talking about your mama. :-)

I can say this, being on these committees during the year is really hard work followed by an intense conference and competition, so the giving continues until the last day on monday, then like me, everyone is looking forward to getting back to their day job and trying to catch up.

My hat goes off to all of those who dedicated this time in their lives to move this process along...I mean, look at the turnout. it was an amazing competition...as good, no better than I have ever seen...so the work begins now for next year and new blood has got to be welcome.

I would agree that future postings are merely worthless gossip, until I hear differently from reputable sources. Because we all have better things to do than to speculate on such matters, I say we sit back and wait to base posts on actual resignations and motives. Remember, save the drama fo yo mama.

Admirable question Chuck, But this is rumor on my end until the point I speak or see any resignation letters. Rumor says, as to why the resignations are flying in.
The leadership of both committees is questionable, Are we in agreement on this?
Or do you know for sure that the resignations are Official.
If so does any past or present member of either of those committees care to enlighten the rest of us? Since this is a Assoc. / Guild are member driven. Are they not?
Or is all that surrounds the us kept hush,hush
We the people would like some answers.
