As a SW member,
I think a reasonable solution to the problem of conflict of interest in
sanctioning, among other things, would be that the sanctioning director
NOT be a regional director OR a ride manager. I think there would be
plennty of perfectly capable, qualified and knowing willing people that
would do the sanctioning job that did not want to be either a regional director
or ride manager. Thus an end to the conflict. And an effective end to
anyone person having even the appearance of to much influence or power.
I see no reason why this could not be quickly and effectively
instituted if the majority of the BOD is indeed interested in
fairness. I have long be concerned with some of the direction of AERC and
this is one problem that could easily be solved. Anne
