There once was a Central Committee that had risen from the ashes.
It had declined to the point it had to take up a collection each meeting to pay for the room.
This was required because the bank account had run dry,
Attendence had fallen drastically, Events were non productive.
And then it got NEW LEADERSHIP
Leadership that vowed to work WITH the Committee as a Partner.
Promising to always keep in mind that the Contitution put the power of decision in the hands of the Committee and not the Executives,
And it came to pass the Committee Flourished
Attendence rose some meetings had 200 or more.
There was no problem affording anything it got done,
Events were overflowing with attendence
And it was Good
And then again New Leadership arose
And he Body thought it would be a continuation of what had worked so well
But instead the Leadership followed the path that had led to empty meeting rooms and emptier bank accounts
They proclaimed that ALL decision power was vested in THEM
The Committee had given birth to sundry Sub Committees and had worked hard over a period of Years to Build them up and give them charters.
They were well attended and healthy
The New Leaders Destroyed the Work of Years
To replace them with something called Teams of their own making and controled by people of their own choosing.
As all this happened attendence plummeted the treasury declined,
The Committee was in dissarray, a large portion of it felt disenfranchised.
In a very short time everything was back to where it had been BEFORE the Golden Era of Growth
None of this happened by Accident
A Great Deal of Effort was expended to accomplish these things
What I have not been able to figure out is
WHY?
