Almost 20% of those eligible chose to exercise their right to vote. Not exactly a mandate for those elected.

Why did some 80% choose not to vote??

Why did two highly dedicated directors choose not to run??

Is there or should there be a limit on the number of consecutive terms for anyone elected to the IPSC Ontario Board of Directors??

Inquiring minds would like to know.

Like most clubs or associations, I believe the answer you're going to get is Apathy.

What were the percentages the last few times you guys held an election?

From what I can remember...

In 2003 (before I was on the the board) I acted as the election chairman. I don't remember the exact number of ballots but in was around 250. (we had 900 members at the time) It may have actually been 2002...I can't remember

In the 4 years since then participation has been about the same (in or around the low 200's) In two of the past 4 years...the elections were decided by acclimation.

Last year (for the 2006 board) there was one position and one candidate .In 2004 (for the 2005 board) there were 3 positions...and only 2 ran.

Since I joined IPSC in 2000, there have been 4 years where the election was decided by acclimation. Pretty sad

I would expect to see the participation level at about 40%...and we tend to get about half of that.

Apathy sound about right. More people seem interetsed after the fact. :confused:

Cheers
 
guys, please let it go..let us learn from this and move on, there is no need to discus it any further, s**t happens. I am sure that new board will address the issue at hand and things will be different in the future. Just because I am no longer on the board this does not mean I will not be helping to grow IPSC Ontario.

To help Josko and Quigley out here, I'll lock this.
 
Stormbringer and I don't always agree but I really do respect what he has to say, so after thoughtful and inciteful converstation with Stormbringer - who was absolutely correct in what he had to say - I have reopened this thread.

Thanks Storm.
 
Lately, there has been too much locking going around here concerning IPSC . If no one is really bashing, why not let the opinions roll.
