[nabs-l] Disappointed

[Joe Orozco]

Jim,

I posted the information to twenty-three different lists.  I neglected to
include the information on the web site.  Next time I will do so, but the
list is a direct means of communicating with people.  My job is to create an
outreach effort at a national level for the public at large.  I felt NABS
affiliates were eligible recipients, but I cannot dedicate a special
multi-level outreach approach to NABS affiliates on top of my regular course
of assignments.  Outreach is the job of the student presidents.  I mean,
people in the general public at large aren't begged to apply for grants.
They either apply, or they don't.  We're talking about a national
competition for free money here.  It's been pointed out that perhaps the
message was lost in the volume of posts.  I think I may concur.  If we
didn't have thirty posts on swine flu, maybe the important messages can get
noticed?  Mind you, this is not a defensive response, but I think leaders
need to be leaders and keep track of information as it is released.  I
should not have to create explosive subject lines for my messages to be
read.

Hello,
It seems as if every day there are more and more people coming 
out of the woodwork saying that they would have been interested 
in the grant if only they had known about it.. It seems as if 
the disappointment (blame) aimed at those who did not 
participate in the gramt is misdirected. If anything, it seems 
as if the disappointment should be aimed at the outreach efforts.

Furthermore, I recall purring forth an idea to record the 
national convention employment seminar before the grant 
deadline closed. On behalf of the MABS, I would have gladly 
applied for the grant to help cover cost associated with that 
project. Who was it that failed to mentioon that potential 
funding was avaliable?

Just something to think about
Jim

PS. I will be calling Mrs. Jernigan later this week to discuss 
recording the convention employment seminar. Once I talk to 
her, I will post what I find out.
