NorCal 86 Owners Club: Brainstorm and nominations for community leaders
Fellow NorCal owners,
I apologize in advance for getting long-winded here. Our beloved 86/FRS/BRZs have only been out on the market for a short time but we’ve seen tremendous growth in our community and the enthusiasm we share is contagious. I’ve met with many of you at the annual, monthly and weekly meets and we have a great group of people here. Those of you whom I’ve spoken with, openly or privately, I think generally share the same belief: our community needs a more responsible, democratic, and open approach to the leadership of our NorCal 86 Owners Club organization. What does this organization do? Well at a minimum it helps maintain an official identity for our local community. Here are some of the things the NC86OC can and does participate in:
So while the idea of having a club seems easy and fun, it quickly becomes a logistical challenge to those who are entrusted with maintaining it. Behind the scenes there is a lot of work, a lot of effort, time and stress. We need to find one, or several individuals who are willing to take on this challenge, for very little reward or benefit. We also expect these people to act in the best interests of the community, and be honest, open and transparent about their actions and what they are doing on behalf of the community. So I’m throwing this out there to you all, do you have thoughts on how to best run our collective organization? What activities or principles are important to you? Would you be willing to take part in working to make this organization successfully function? I’ll share a few ideas of my own on how we can select and self-govern our group.
These are my own opinions and I welcome anyone to disagree or suggest other opinions on how things could be done. The point of this thread is to open up the floor to all of you and get your input on how we could get things done. TL;DR version - give us your ideas on what the club should be doing for you. And nominate leaders you think will advance the interests of the club. Or volunteer to do so yourself. Thanks for your time! |

I think you just nominated yourself as president just by making this post my friend
Joking aside, I like the last idea (bullet point), making the officers/board members "invested" in the community/club. How that money is spent, on the other hand, is the more important thing to decide and make clear. All stake holders should be in agreement before funds are spent. For example, I think the fund can be used to front costs for the annual meet, but not necessarily merchandising if not all are in agreement. |

As I said before in the meets, you are the defacto BOSS! Even though you say you are not.

I think finch1750 a good canidate just because of the success of the toy drive alone. He represents the active part of Stockton. Of course we'll see what he thinks of this "expansion" of NC86OC

i like the last bullet point too. i don't like voting. i think there aren't enough people that would vote mostly because they don't care. i mean i think they care about going to meets, they just don't want to be involved with the "politics" of voting and all that. which again i think it's better that people put in some cash to be "allowed" the ability to help make decisions. i would have nominated you too @PMok along with @MyRx. if we did vote then i'd totes vote for @finch1750 if he was interested.
also i hope it is at minimum 2 people so that the burden isn't just on 1 person. |

I also vote for PMOK to be Prez. But if we're going with the board council then perhaps we should have each board member be represented from different parts of NorCal based on city or areas. This would help bring different perspectives to the board meetings. This board member would also represent their local 86/BRZers for event planning etc.
