BTW century needs to renew their hosting for their internet page.

Region Trail has to many conflicts with club events. IMO the regions should be here to serve the clubs not vice versa.

Only Federation club that will not have conflicts with scheduling will be Century.....

The region has announced their schedule with plenty of time for clubs to consider in their own scheduling if they choose to do so. Most clubs fish specific weekends i.e.. 1st Saturday of the month Century has not announced theirs yet. because they control the Region and wanted to make sure there where no conflicts with their schedule? What do you suggest? Getting feedback and coordinating with the clubs in the Region - there are less then 6 Wait till every Nation club puts out their schedule and then try to find a weekend or two that doesn't conflict? They should schedule around all clubs or work to align clubs with the region verses BassChamps or other non Federated events. As for your comment concerning Century, yes it's a fine club and supports the NE region at a higher level than any other club. If Century anglers didn't fish the region there wouldn't be more than a handful of anglers show up. Could it be because theirs is the only club that doesn't have any conflicts with the region dates?

When is the last time anyone ever ran for a position they weren't willing to do the work required? If not then it must be for a different reason. When as the last time a regional director was at your club meeting?

Fact is all the regional directors have been out of one club for years, if it is a hand me down position than should we except more coordination?

Some of us have been there, done it and have the T-shirt as well.

I guess I'm wrong and the region is operating as a well oiled machine. Growth is good and the future is bright. It will be another year of no regional trail for me and most likely our club after being heavily involved in previous years.

Sir as for your statement "Fact is all the regional directors have been out of one club for years, if it is a hand me down position than should we except more coordination?"
I must inform you that you are 100% totally incorrect. In fact I have been reading all your posts and can tell you really don't know what you are talking about. I say this because I know how the Texas B.A.S.S Sir - Read the title - Northeast Texas Bass Federation Schedule. fact IS what I said is fact, do your research and post back - I look forward to your findings. Nation operates because I am the Southeast Director and also the Texas B.A.S.S. Nation Tournament Director Your region seems to be one of the only that has information posted for next year and is updated regularly - I applaud your effort. Some would say that is what is expected from a person that was voted in to represent them for the region.. To help you understand, I understand what the requirements areeach regional director has to be elected every two years to that position by the presidents of each club in that region. Yes, it is hard to find someone to step forward to take on the responsibility as a region director that dedicates hours of his time each year to organize, manage and operate said region for NO compensation. Even members of the State Board are doing these duties for NO compensation I may even challenge this statement but its not what's important to me here. These people serving in these positions are doing these duties because they want to. They do it to help make this organization a place for the working grass root angler an affordable and accessible tournament trail that has a path to advance to the Bassmaster Classic.
Now with that said. If you feel that the region directors are just from one club and are hand me down directors I have a question for you. When have you ever stepped forward and announced that YOU would like to run for regional director? I have served as assistant director for the region and have also in the past stepped forward to be the director - hence my comment been there done that got the T-shirt, again do your research and you will find out what I am saying is fact. If you have a problem in the way the region is being managed then I suggest your club president and any other club presidents need to attend the quarterly region meetings and represent. A region director has an obligation to work with the regions presidents Fact is there is there have not been any organized meetings of the region in years, to the regions credit there have been some conference calls but little feedback ever provide to the clubs - I have notes if you want specific dates and discussion topics. If you are not the president of your club then voice your issues, suggestions and desires to your president and PLEASE do not go on a public forum and try to discredit and bring defamation upon your region, the Texas B.A.S.S. Nation and any club affiliated with this organization. This forum is public and my opinion/comments can be posted here just as the NEF schedule. I have also spoken up during calls and in meetings when they were held. BTW when was the last Texas BASS State Presidents meeting? Where you there? because I was.

I appreciate your passion for the topic and organization but if you call me out as not knowing what I am talking about, do your homework because I have.

Ok I believe I see what the problem is here. I went back and reviewed all the posts and it seems there is some confusion but in your last response I realized what organization you are referring to.
It is evident that you are referring to the Texas Bass Federation (TBF) and not the Texas B.A.S.S. Nation (TBN).No your wrong again - I am referring to the Texas BASS Nation I was believing you were referring to the TBN in earlier posts because we have a Century Bass Club that is affiliated with TBN and the Northeast Region has a new director going into 2015. You mentioned that the website is not up to date in which the TBN site is Nope wrong again NE Federation is not updated. You mentioned that you were at the last State "presidents" meeting and questioned when I was. The TBN has State Board meetings where the state board members and region directors meet. I have attended all of them since I have held the position as the Southeast Region Director and I would believe you would have known who I was I have no clue who you are if you had attended but I realized you were referring to the TBF Nope wrong again - I was at the TBN meeting in Austin last time they had it, 4 years or more ago before the truck raffle debacle.
Yes I am passionate about our (TBN) organization and that is why when it appeared that you were referring to the TBN Northeast Region I was, as you call it, calling you out on it. I apologize for this and being that I now see that you are talking about the TBF I hope the issues can get resolved. You could always look at the TBN I am currently a Texas TBN member, in a Federated club on the 2nd place team this year on Lake Amistad....
