Of Boards and Bureaucracies
-And Why So Many Friends Type Groups Are Cropping Up

By Del Albright, BlueRibbon Ambassador

People are getting tired of slow moving bureaucracies in government. Tolerance for waiting in line, on-hold phone numbers, being told, Ill get back to you, press one for this or that language, and other such bureaucratic behavior is at an all time low in my experience. This applies as well to our recreational clubs and organizations. We want change. We want something different. And we want it now!

Nowhere is this more prevalent than in starting a new club or organization. I hear often the questions of whether to just be a virtual club, or to incorporate, or to be non-profit, or to just be left alone. And why are all these new Friends type groups popping up around the country? Where does one start?
