Dennis, I'm the Northeast region manager for USSMA. I think many of your ideas are terrific...for the most part. I'm hoping all this discussion gets noticed by the USSMA board of directors.
Don't take this wrong now......why AREN'T you a member? I'd like to hear your reasons and that goes for any others paying attention to this thread. Although not a requirement, I for one feel that competitors in USSMA events should be members. Kind of like "What can I do for the organization rather than what can it do for me?"
