I was going to pose these questions on the NSRCA list, but my messages are currently not going through to their server due to a technical issue.

My main question is: has the NSRCA collapsed? The NSRCA doesn't do a whole lot, so when things get screwed up, it's really easy to notice. I re-joined the NSRCA this year because I finally had the time to devote to pattern. Since I rejoined in mid-March I have yet to receive an issue of the K-Factor. The April issue still isn't out, and is not available online. It's almost mid-May. The June issue should be hitting mailboxes in the next week or two. I asked my district VP what the deal was with the K-Factor, he said he would look into it, and has yet to receive a response. Add to this the total lack of forethought and organization on the rules proposal process: instead of doing nothing the board decided to back some really bad rules proposals that were hastily-written and did not reflect the desires of the membership. All these things, and the NSRCA's silence on the K-Factor problem (I did post a query regarding that to the NSRCA list a couple weeks ago which went totally unanswered) has me wondering if someone, or many someones, has fallen asleep at the wheel. Is the organization broke and just can't afford to print the K-Factor? Can we not even afford to post it online? Is it even a money issue, or something entirely different?

Like I said at the beginning, the NSRCA doesn't have a whole lot of responsibility, so when they screw something up, it shows. I'm not trying to call anyone out for doing a bad job, I just want an explanation of what the heck is going on within the organization that I paid good money to join.
