[grc] ATTN: Previous GRC Host Stations: Nominate your GRC Steering Committee Reps TODAY!

[Sharon Scott]

The Steering Committee is NOT a formal organization.  We are not 
incorporated nor do we intend to be.  There is no
hierarchy or anything of the nature.  It is an informal collective of 
representatives from previous stations.  It is the reason this year's 
conference and the monthly meet-ups since have happened for the past 
four years.

The Steering Committee has been in existence since the vote among 
conference participants at Madison 2011 but at times more active than 
others. Its effectiveness entirely depends on the station participation 
which is why we are trying to recruit representatives.  I have been to 
every conference except one since Madison and I have never heard that 
the vote was recalled.  If you have evidence of this, please forward.

There is no reason that having the stations who have hosted the 
conference before decide where it will go next is a a bad idea.  In 
fact, it seems to be the safest way to keep it free and independent when 
there are so many power-hungry individuals in the world of radio.  What 
is a bad idea is allowing independent consultants to take over the 
conference and incorporate as an organization with themselves as the 
leaders.  This group serves as a safe-guard against that.  It keeps the 
GRC Conference safely within the hands of the stations themselves.   
where it belongs.


Who are you AL ?
