NEC Summary

[Cecil DP]

Still think annual election of CV is too often...maybe two year term.

Also, respectfully disagree, FW, that elections get the "best qualified" available person...it gets the person who is the best vote-getter which, 90% of the time, means the best politician.

Of course CAP doesn't have political parties, but certainly we do have factions or interest groups...and even a 'political boss' or two, I'd guess, human nature being what it is.

The elections are usually influenced by the Region Commander who "requests" his subordinate Wings to vote for a certain candidate. I've heard several Wing commanders say Col Jones of XX region wants us all to vote for Col Smith for CC or CV, and then he (jones)will be up  for an NEC position".
