That would be interesting.

I have no intentions of working for the USAWS BOD. Thanks though.

though I can see that given the right power and control, the USAWS could be guided in the right direction.

Which is why they keep turning over executive directors every year or two -- the board has the power, and they have their own plans. Here's the job description:

Primary responsibilities include:

    * Manage headquarters staff and the operation of USA Water Ski, Inc.
    * Implement and maintain programs to develop and support participants and members
    * Financial reporting to the association’s president and Executive Committee

Qualifications:

    * Seven-plus years’ business experience, including senior management
    * Demonstrated history of the successful development and implementation of strategic plan
    * Strong financial management, budgeting and administration skills
    * Proven track record of motivating and managing key personnel
    * Experience with not-for-profit organizations and national governing body is a plus
    * Exceptional communications skills
    * Bachelor’s degree in business, sports management, or equivalent
       
Nothing there about heading in the right direction. I'll keep doing what we're building here

AGREED!
