There are things that I do not like about the ITA but there are things that are good.

I don't think spending money on speakers such as Erin Brockovich is a good thing. Spend the money on people in the industry to speak to us. The concert is a nice perk, but in Nashville there are several upcoming musicians that would entertain us for less than the big names, JMOH.

But we must attend the meetings and speak with the board to make things different.

I am short on time, so this is just a few of my thoughts.

So get involved.. make you feeling known about how the $$$ is spent.
But if you aren't apart of the solution then you are allowing the "problem" to grow...

It's about the vote! Everything else is lip service.

Everyone has a different perspective I guess. This is why we will never get out from under the heel of The Good Old Boys, they hang together for their own good, we bicker and bash each other for noones benefit.

Don I will answer your post that you so kindly posted on the other site. As far as me going to sleep...yes I do have a problem staying awake when getting still. I can fall asleep anywhere. So with that being said I would like to tell you something...

I came to listen to you because I thought as did others this would be the start of something big. This did not happen and it won`t as long as we all keep attacking each other. What the crap is wrong with everyone? I do not want my money back. I did this because I thought it was the right thing to do. I do appreciate the things you do and have done for this industry.

Now what I don`t appreciate is you thinking everyone else is supposed to think like you and agree with you on certain issues. If you have a problem with an individual don`t involve others and don`t blame others.

As far as what I posted about the things I did in Nashville. No Don I am not important. I am just an individual and salon owner trying to make a difference in this industry. A very small piece of the puzzle. I do however think everyone should get involved especially if they want to make a change. Go to the trade shows and talk with these people. Let them know the things you want. I think Dan is a great president and I think he should be given credit for being in this position.

I in no way meant for you to take my post the wrong way. Sorry if you are not adult enough to see that or have so much anger in you that you can`t understand.

Good luck in your new adventure!!

BTW I have one of your notebooks in our training room!!!!![ This Message was edited by: Frankie on 2003-02-05 01:59 ]

I enjoyed my visit to Nashville and I attended the same functions and/or was invited to the same ones that Christine and Frankie.

The ITA will not be changed overnight. I am glad I ran for office.

I am glad that I am a member.

Would I run again???? Yes, I would.

Am I hapy with everything they decide on?? No. But there are many people on that board I can complain to via phone call, email or in person at the meetings.

There is a need for new blood, but each f the current members do put forth the effort... How many people have been to the meetings? Have your questions not been addressed? Have you not been able to speak what is on your mind?

Granted, not everything is taken as seriusly as some of us would like to see it... but that is when we need to be pushy... keep on thier behinds.... let them know this is what SALON OWNERS want.... write letters, make phone calls.... show them you want to be heard.... then if you do not get the results you are looking for -- DON'T VOTE FOR THEM.

Obviously people are happy with their current members -- the keep putting them back in office.

BTW... how are the newly elected members liking their new tites? Was it what you expected?

Off the soap box now.....
