WiredBBQ.com and the Banquet - Page 4

It was discussed in November and moved for further discussion in executive session. It got passed over there and that's why it ended up on the table in December.

If they passed over it, multiple times, seems pretty pompous then to declare it was brought to the table just too darn late.

I stay out of these fights normally as well, but this is just ridiculous. How can the board say they are looking out for promoting bbq and then not allow a virtually sold out even to be webcasted? Time to wake up from the stone ages.

Use a blackout, x% sold web cast it. Sheesh, slackers.

Seems odd that KCBS wouldn't jump at this. I can't think of a better way to promote BBQ - and it's at no cost.

Hmmm, could be fun to come to florida to witness a reinactment

Esp. if Ray is playing all the roles. LOL

Now that would be a display of talent

Can you see no benefit to KCBS in free positive publicity?

Jeff what surprises me is that Candy was behind getting it, or that was my impression and she too voted against it????

Jeff_in_KC · 12-22-2010, 03:32 PM

I'm not singling anyone out, Linda... they all screwed the pooch on this one. Candy was the one who carried the torch for the cooks who wanted it.

ThomEmery · 12-22-2010, 03:41 PM

I believe she abstained

Why would you make a motion then vote against it?

drbbq · 12-22-2010, 10:15 PM

It was seconded by Tana and she voted against it too!

Happens all the time with BOD's. Say a person asks a BOD member to see if they can do something. THere's no discussion or research before it goes on the agenda. Then it's discussed and is obvious that it's not the right thing now.

A BOD member has a responsibility to members to try to bring their concerns before the BOD. However it's much better if the membership writes the entire BOD and asks the issues be considered. Then there's no motion before the discussion.

I doubt the BoD and Staff realized how many folks were hoping to watch this
