Nah, sounds like you're a moaner and not willing to step up. I'm not very impressed with my local USATF but am encouraged by some of the stories from around the country. If your group isn't performing, make sure the silent majority knows.
Dosn't the silent majority know that the LDR group isn't performing? How do they react? Apathy.
Who posted as 'lots of love for USATF'?Just wondering.

It doesn't help that we are in the Lake Erie Association... by far the worst, most unsupportive, and unorganized USATF association in the entire United States!
Have you read the bylaws for getting voted into governance? It is nearly impossible to move out the old and bring in the new! Each assn has its own rules for governance, which is a crock. People have tried for years in Lake Erie to get the old bumbs out. I guarantee our board is in Hawaii all expenses paid through J.O. stuff. Easily the worst. The national board won't do anything either - we've tried.
I have to second or third the idea that Lake Erie is one of the top 5 worse USATF Associations! Trust me, I have tried to battle them, it is impossible to vote them out. All Larry Seifert thinks about is Youth, and now even that segment of the athlete population has dwindled...As a open athlete, Lake
Erie Association has done nothing for the sport for at least the last 11 years. Will Bill Roe say anything to Larry about how poorly things are done in Northeast Ohio? I sincerely doubt it! At one time, it was my understanding that if the Local Associations did not meet the requirements set forth by USATF, then they would be de-certified and there would be new officers put in place by he National Office until things were straightened out. Did this ever happen? Not to the best of my knowledge........
