This has kind of been a long time coming, but I wanted to raise some concerns about Eurodrivers management team. Mainly on the events side of things. I have nothing against Colin/Rod/Tyler or the previous presidents/vp's as they are all good friends of mine, but would like to see some good things come out of Eurodrivers this year.
This thread is mainly about event coordination and organization and what i would like to propose is some management changes or at the very least, the addition of a Events Coordinator to the management team along with an events committee underneath. Voted in by the members of the club of course. From what I've seen in the past, is that management positions are usually just appointed by the ones leaving, and i think these changes should be a club vote instead.
This year is the 15th anniversary of Eurodrivers, and i know theres chatter of events being planned. But i haven't seen much initiatives from the moderators/admins on really getting things going. Another example is Driven is two months away and I've had friends ask if Eurodrivers has a booth. I know Rod has been chatting with Mark(organizer of driven) and probably has a confirmed booth. But things should be getting started in my opinion of getting a list of confirmed participants and such. From my experience of Driven 2015... the organization and planning of the Ed booth was very lackluster, and was a reason i did my own group for 2016 and again for this year.
I know there are a lot of members that don't post alot who are lurking on Eurodrivers but are active members of the vw community and im sure would love to join in on event planning and organization. Im sure there would be a handful of people who would love to help plan some potentially awesome events.
Personally, in my opinion, Eurodrivers needs to be hosting more events. A proper car show, as well as the into the rockies weekend that we all enjoy. I would love to step up and help out organize events and play a bigger role in the Ed community if voted in by members.
I dont intend to offend anyone by posting this. And i especially dont want this to become a big bi*ching fest at each other, But i think this club has alot of potential that its missing out on. I also know that the Vw/Euro Community in Calgary and even Alberta is very divided. I think this could be a very positive thing for Eurodrivers and the Euro community as a whole.
So to summarize,
I would like to propose some management changes. An Election of New management of Eurodrivers Board (old Presidents and vp's) President, Vice presidents, Events Coordinator and Events committee members.
I would also like to hear forum other members what your thoughts are on this. Please speak up as i think Eurodrivers has alot of great people who are lurking on here.
