Much of the misinformation could be eliminated simply by placing it on public display.

Most of the main problems swirl around finances and board/executive decisions on specific issues and what the association is actually doing for them.

Maintain current budget info with actual and projected numbers on the website in PDF format. This information is in electronic format so it is not a difficult task. I challenge anyone to find an organized club in the country that doesn't have at least one member that has access and can bring updated numbers to every club meeting. I made a habit of posting the numbers as ZD, which met with tremendous resistance? Why? Honesty and transparency are the best defense against false info.

Post the minutes of the AGM, yearly Zone meetings and all Executive meetings as well. Again, they are all electronic format already and available.

Post any issues that the board raises that requires a special vote. Include those that are passed and voted down!

For the most part, it's boring stuff, but at least it's available in an uneditable format that can be printed, referenced and distributed for those who have an interest and for those who stumble into a forum disscussion on so they can research and come to informed opinion.

I don't understand the resistance to getting facts to the membership. "Call your ZD if you want to find out" is lame and unesessary if it can be easliy accessed in these modern times.

As for my side of any argument I'm involved in, I have absolutely no reservation about facts being posted on the MAAC site, but it cannot be selective and it must be complete. I will always yeild to fact..............even if it proves me wrong.
