Doug Farley Appointed
to
Recruitment, Promotions and Publicity Committee

     The Executive Council is pleased to announce the appointment of Doug Farley to the position of Chairman of the Recruitment, Promotions and Publicity Committee.

     Doug should be familiar to many in the Association. He was asked to produce the Recruitment procedures recommendations, as an upgraded version of the work done in the NYP District, for all the member choruses in the AMCA. The notebooks you now have in each chorus is the result of Doug's research and editing. He was also asked to head the Task Force when we researched areas of concern within the Association at the departure of the old Ontario District. He is also the current President of Lock City Glee Club, Inc.

     Doug currently occupies a position in Lockport at the Erie Canal Discovery Center. The work is in conjunction with the time he devotes to the Niagara County Historical Society. The skills used promoting and publicizing these organizations could be valuable to the Association.

     Please send Doug an email welcoming him to his new responsibility and offering any ideas you wish to present to him.

Contact Recruitment Committee

     This is another opportunity for individuals to join a committee that does good work for the Association and Doug would be grateful to have people from every district for assistance. Most communications can be done over emails.

  Best regards
Ric Addenbrooke

Topic: Volunteers ... Officers
Comments: Ric: Your statement about Volunteers and Officers was very moving to me. Some people may take exception to it but observation, opinion, and discussion are the heart of movement. We all learn if we "listen and read". Thanks for showing leadership again in this article.

Comments: Bob Esko is a former AMCA International Officer and an advocate of change in the International.
   Bob wrote a series of articles for AMCA which are still available in the archives and he worked hard to instigate change in the organizational structure. Bob's good ideas may be a source of ideas for the current leadership.
   Have a look at the archives. Reflections by Bob Esko (Note: Some of the links no longer work but the ideas are definitely worth reading.)

Topic: Re: "Attitude"
Comments: Ric,
   Your determination to reinvent what remains of the AMCA is admirable. Kudos for streamlining what was a very cumbersome and basically dysfunctional governing body of the International. This was a much-needed step forward.
   I'd like to suggest that, in addition to the re-write of the bylaws, there is a great need to establish annual goals for the organization. Good intentions are fine, but they remain on the back burner until they are brought into sharper focus.
   Set up no more than five attainable goals each year. What are the most important things the association needs to do to prevent further erosion of what it once was? State these in terms that are concise and easy to grasp, then publish them widely and put sufficient resources (money and manpower) into actually accomplishing them.
   Effective leadership flows from well-stated goals which are enthusiastically supported. Keep up the good work.

Cordially,
Bob Esko
So. St. Paul Male Chorus
