That depends on the kind of organization you are and want to be. If LOPSA is a membership organization then I worry for our future. If we are a different kind of organization where membership isn't a measure of our "domestic product" then perhaps it isn't as important as we think it is. One of the big questions I think the board must decide this year is wether to try and keep being a membership organization or to become another kind of organization. I believe that LOPSA won't succeed as a membership organization because people much smarter than me have tried without success. If LOPSA can't succeed as a membership organization then we must adapt or die. I think the best thing to try next is to become an educational organization. > I'm afraid you're showing yourself to be a bit naive here.

You get to decide if you want to stay the course or try something different. -- Perfection is just a word I use occasionally with mustard. --Atom Powers-- _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
