Amaya:
You raise some disturbing questions.
After last week's roll call event on AUGD, Chuck Joiner of the MUG
Center asked me to participate in a podcast for the The User Group
Report. We talk about roll call and that led us to talk about UG's in
general. The podcast can be found here:
http://www.mugcenter.com
As a result of last week's roll call, we both noticed a number of UG's
struggling with declining memberships. Chuck pondered if structured UG
executive committees hinder the growth of UG's. It is interesting
fodder for anyone in charge of a UG. Is your executive committee
helping or hurting?
There is more in that podcast, but, since you raised closely related
issue's you might find it interesting. FWIW, last night was Triangle
MUG's Executive Committee Meeting (we call it XCOM) - I raised this
exact issue, that we need, as a executive committee, to push the group
in a direction that every member feels empowered to participate as they
feel will best advance their needs. If a members wants to get other
members together for an additional meeting, they don't feel the need to
ask permission from XCOM. After all, this is how UG's got started in
the first place.

Hi all,
I wanted to get this topic on board since it is not the first time I
heard a group dealing with the ego and "power" a president or group
leader get at his/her role.
What UG do to make sure your leaders wont "hijack" your database and
start another group, how you protect your members data, how you keep
control of your group contacts and information?
Do you backup your mailing list?
Do you backup your database and more than one person have access to it?
Who control the access to the Apple Locator database, one person, more
than one?
Does a group "hijacked" need to go to a legal action to prevent
members information be used without permission?
How to control power freak ego of leaders?
:-)
