That might sound like an oxymoron, but the new USPA Board of Directors is doing some great work here in Reno. There is fun and mayhem going on outside the board rooms (some sort of Chinese dragon/drumming team sounds like they are really living it up) but the board and some dedicated interested people are inside talking about things like election processes, how to best deal with disciplinary actions and other tough issues.
The Regional Directors are meeting now – these people are your first contact into USPA. Get to know them if you don’t already. They all list contact information on the USPA website, and some have separate forums, mailing lists or websites of their own for their regions. When they get home, ask them what happened at the BOD meetings, or try shooting them an e-mail or phone call now if you see something on the agendas that you want to know about. (They are quite busy this weekend though, so no guarantees on how quickly they’ll get back to you within the next 48 hours).
