There are Mid Am and PAHL director/board positions open for nominations every year: the notices opening nominations are out there for anyone to see and volunteer for. I've worked with many volunteer-based organizations over the years and have found that the ones that complain the loudest and longest rarely are willing to put in the time and effort needed to make a difference.

There are always opportunities for improvement in any organization and it's easy to sit on an anonymous message board and bitch, moan, whine and complain. It's a lot harder to come up with real-life, concrete, workable solutions. What are your specific recommendations and what have you done to put those forward for consideration?
