Maybe it's more important for the CFO to be an accountant than a glider
pilot.

I think by assuming that the headquarters is for members to visit, you
are missing an important point. The headquarters exists for a reason.
It's there to show the rest of the aviation community that we are a
viable concern, an organization of serious people that care greatly
about our sport. I believe we would be better off with it in Dallas,
for the same reasons others pointed out... travel, and being able to
attract a better CFO. However, if the CFO is a glider pilot, perhaps
Hobbs isn't such a bad place. I'm in Clovis, and fly out of
Littlefield. My job brought me here and I'm fine with it. Really not
much difference between Clovis and Hobbs. The soaring sure beats
Houston, where I came from. It's better than it was at TSA, also... but
there aren't nearly as many people in the Caprock Club as in the other
clubs, so the duties fall more heavily on the very few willing souls...
I am not CFO material... I'm a telecommunications guy...

The problem with volunteering for any organization is the time drain. I
barely have time to keep my glider in a good state of repair, let alone
volunteering for more. I worked on radios at Houston while my ship went
begging. Alas, all this to be bitched at a couple of times by members
that showed up to fly like it was a country club.

Directors, thank you! I know what it's like to volunteer your time and
money for such a (mostly) thankless crowd. Please don't count me among
them.

How many people are actually planning to visit the SSA in the next year
no matter where it might be located?

I wonder how many would visit the SSA building if it was next door to
them?

I am asking myself is there some reason why I would want to visit....am
I missing something here?

Oh, I dunno . . . if it were in Minden, I'd probably stop in maybe once a
month and ask to see the financials. If the secretary was cute, more
often
