If it is too large you run the risk of not being able to reach a concensus or it too much favoring one group. If there is a group of 3-5 key people to make decisions I think it will be the most fair and effective. They key to success is delegation from that point to get people more involved and then expand if needed down the road in terms of decision makeing. If someone wants to be involved start by contacting a board member and there is always tasks to be done. I do see your point about some being afraid if there is a vote though so I'm glad you brought that to the table.

I like the idea of trying to get people from the different areas and it seems like that can happen. I don't think it should be a requirement we have x number from a, b, c areas as there may not always be someone from the area willing or able to commit.

yeah of course and under normal circumstances i would agree with you, but under the current ones i can't imagine there being more than 3-5 people that would even want to do it due to how quickly this is apparently going to be decided and also based on how i feel like the general feeling of involvement a lot of members want to have toward leadership.

i just worry that there is the one member/lurker that reads all the threads and posts and has a ton to contribute, but is just scared to for xyz reason... :cheers:

Your probably right that not a huge number will step up to really make that a concern. I guess we can just wait and see who throws their name in or gets their name thrown in.

I think all the people listed above would make a fantastic Board of directors for NOC 86 club. I am interested in helping in events/planning/volunuteering. I use to be a VP of an association during my college days and I love this kind of stuff. please let me know if I can help in anyway!

Lol, I'm not sure I deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as those other folks :P but like alot of folks here, I definitely would love to help out where I can :D

You should be! You're one of them who help started the community in the first place.:respekt:

Yup, as mentioned before I want to get involved. I'm a newer owner but definitely feel I have what it takes to contribute to the community. Please just let me know.

Let me start with i think a committee is the way to go. this way all of the responsibly is not on one persons shoulders.

+1 for this. I haven't been able to be a regular participant in the meets so my opinion is probably worth a grain of sand but the people listed above are by far some of the most active and influential people on the NorCal forum. Not only are they active they are always active in the most positive way which tells me they would be great leaders for promoting an active, responsible and respectable car club.

Also these people are all know for each of our major NorCal regions. This to me makes the most sense. Each person knows the "lay of the land" in their region and can make educated suggestions for meets/events in their respected areas.

+1 on the idea of board members having a stake in the club. companies have been doing this for years and it seems to work. workers with a stake in the company they work for almost always work harder.

Getting this together is awesome! :happyanim: I can't wait to see more events in NorCal :D and i'd be glad to help whenever i can

More SF people please. Kthx.

I can help out when I'm in town out here in Daly City and am here every other week… the opposite week I'm up in the Oregon/Washington area. I am hoping to get to know the Northwest 86 Owners and possibly serve as a liason between the NorCal and Northwest communities if we have any events :D

I agree with the people quoted above. If possible, each major area would have a representative or two, and between them they vote on which position they would like to take responsibility for. The representatives could be voluntary or even voted upon in their own respective areas. Up to where they come from.

just my two cents. I have only participated in a couple drives so I don't know if it is can be done. But each drive I went on had a bunch of people from everywhere so it does sound like it is possible.

+1 for @BunnyRZed being Sacramento community leader

I can help out with any SF stuff as well, though there aren't enough of us enthusiast-types out here to have meets/drives too often, the occasional one is nice. And I'm always down to organize caravans to any type of event.

Did you get lost? BAIC is that way ------->

Hahaha. I kid, I kid.

But to bring up a point I hope others are not thinking events and meets can only be planned by leadership. Meets can definitely be created and ran by anyone. The reason to have a board or council is for large scale meets such as 86Fiesta, the toy drive, etc. But whoever does end up stepping into the role should pay close attention to who is volunteering. Lol
