Hey, I just watched your video and got answers to my questions. Sounds like you have many of the same believes and desires for KCBS as many of us.

I appreciate your advice. I guess I believed that my professional life wasn't that important.

No BJ the opposite would be true
Ones "Love of BBQ" is not a reason to vote someone on to the BoD Love of BBQ could mean one thing to you and something altogether different to another Who you is matters

"I have a background in sportsmedicine, worked for the Chicago Cubs and Denver Broncos, owned a small manufacturing business that sold product in the major big box home improvement stores, the fact that I teach classes in Homeland Security with an emphasis on improvised explosive devices and command and control, or the fact that I am a member of the DMAT team, a Master Mason with the Masonic Lodge and I am currently a pharmaceutical researcher."
impressive!

Thanks for the advice Sawdust. I'm not a political kind of guy. I didn't realize that this was political in nature. From the other posts and from the messages I got , I was told and understood that the KCBS wasn't meant to be a political outlet like other organizations are. If you are saying the KCBS has the same characteristics as a political organization I would say you are wrong.
People keeping their mouths shut is a not a good trait for someone running for BOD. I believe that the KCBS needs outspoken, well educated, compasionate, and enthusiastic people, all traits I have. I deal with arrogant, snobby, uptight doctors, drug manufactuers, and patients everyday in order to do my job the best I can, the KCBS BOD would be pleasant compared to my daily excitement. I am sorry for rubbing you the wrong way and hope you see I am on your side. |

Yeah, I'm just going to stay on the sidelines for this debate! BJ, best of luck to you in the election. Denver Broncos, huh? That's my team... and I'll still admit it!
One thing did catch my attention above though... you said you aren't a very political guy - I hope you realize that even though this is barbecue, there are politics involved. Even it it's just trying to help facilitate a change to better transparency by the board, there is a political aspect to it. It's the "politics as usual" thing that has to go. And from what I've been seen, there is stress involved. I hope you're looking at this from all angles, including your own health.

Jeff, thanks for the advice. I realize that there are politics involved with the KCBS. Shoot, there are politics in churches, schools, my Masonic Lodge, and around almost every corner in life.
It is very unfortunate that it is that way. The people kind enough to PM me to say they support me and my platform would say that less politicing in the KCBS would help get the organization back to what it was meant to be, and I agree. Even in the election process I have heard some candidates will spend a fair amount of hard earned money to be elected, and that suprised me but, thats ok if you can do that. Having started in bbq around some of bbq's forefathers and taking interest in the KCBS years ago the KCBS of years past is gone. There were good changes and then there have been some things have been overlooked, passed by, or forgotten that need to be resurected to insure a bright future for the KCBS so people like my boy, and other kids and grandkids can enjoy KCBS and BBQ as much as I do. |

Webster defines politics as "the science of government; that part of ethics which consists in the regulation and government of a nation or state, for the preservation of its safety, peace and prosperity; comprehending the defense of its existence and rights against foreign control or conquest, the augmentation of its strength and resources, and the protection of its citizens in their rights, with the preservation and improvement of their morals. Politics, as a science or an art, is a subject of vast extent and importance." Nothing dirty, underhanded or anything else there. I think we've gotten WAY away from the real meaning of the word to the point of believing it is a bad thing. Not so much if you look at it the way it's supposed to be. This is what myself, Steve, George and Dave all want to do - preserve and protect KCBS as it should be for members, not as a group of people in it for their own benefit believe it should be.

First of all, the KCBS used to have a much larger local presence. The local presence helped get people involved and the greater the involvement the better they were able to work towards the KCBS mission.
Second, it is obvious that KCBS has gotten very large in a fairly short time and with growth accomodations for the membership during growth hasn't kept pace. As for the rest of my platform please check out my video in which I discuss the entire premise. It can be found at: http://www.facebook.com/pages/BJ-Hof...89380814423633 Thanks Plowboy, your time and attention are appreciated. |

Well, one thing this thread highlights is the really difficult job any board member faces. We can't even get a small group of Brethren particpants in this thread to agree what was really being said. Multiply that by the thousands of people in KCBS, and think about the challenge the board has in being clear in what they say and do.
