Hawks;

Thanks for your candid reply !

Again, I respectfully disagree with you...you yourself stated one of the major issues :

"Yolanda is not the problem, her supporting cast is. Once again, talking from experience and being in the "inner circle." Yolanda has progressive ideas, if you cannot get your agenda passed in your own organization and get marginalized, then you have issues. Also, do not be so quick to asses blame. Follow the $$ train and see who benefits the most from what we do. You will then clearly see that WIADCA is in the food chain but not at the end. In my opinion the ones to blame are the entities that are benefiting the most and the entities that are not benefiting it but supporting it, City<-->Bands. WIADCA is in the middle. Study it!"

To me, that is a foolish statement, so she is the President, thinking out the Box, progressive ideas...yet, her supporting cast members are holding her back....well, it is common sense to me here that we have either a President that LACKS LEADERSHIP ABILITY, OR A NO CONFIDENCE VOTE BY HER STAFF, WHICH ONE IS IT ?

There is nothing to study.... NYC and a few Businesses will always have the upper hand !

Correct, I am not in the inner circle, but you don't need a MBA from Harvard to realize that if the organization that is suppose to represent the General Members lack any political clout, or accountability of the financial books... it is only clear that the shake up needs to begin there.

to others who support this boycott...see below !
