Title: 2022 Nats
Post by: Dave_Trible on January 10, 2022, 12:37:57 PM

Today I received an email from AMA requesting info from the Event Director concerning the daily schedule,  fees structure etc. by January 31st.  This is so they can build the Nats webpage entry forms and go live by March 1st.  We still have NO named Event Director.   Someone needs to step up immediately so planning can begin in earnest.  I will also be sending an email to most recent participants in the next few days as well.  If you have been sitting on the fence about it this is the time.  I think we would like to have a Nats this year but of course there is trout fishing.....

Dave,
Just set a deadline  for a volunteer. If no one steps up by then, cancel this years event.

Paul I think that will be pretty close to January 31st or thereabouts.  I won't be able to delay AMA's plans for long.  Not sure the ramifications;  will they attempt to run the event without us?  will they de-list PAMPA as the official SIG?  will they just allow us to take the year off?  They sort of did that with the other groups who cancelled due to Covid in the past year or two.  I have other business to talk to AMA about tomorrow .  I will float the possibility with them and try to get a feel for it.

Guys, this has been a major issue for too many years. However, if we don't fill the slot and cancel for 2022, I see it never returning. Joe Daly and I are working on a different approach by considering having a few more folks take smaller pieces, making the ED's role much more appealing.  This is a crucial time for CL Stunt and PAMPA.  Throwing in the towel is not the answer. Give us a few days to construct a new organizational chart for our one week in Muncie.

Everyone,
I would like to thank Dave Trible as well as all previous EDs for leading the way with our NATS and hope that I can help make 2022 a worthwhile venture for those that attend and those that are watching.  More to follow as we start pulling together the team of volunteers that really make the event happen.
John
