No. It's not. I disagree. A resource problem exists when what your members want is unobtainable with the resources you have, or when what is generally perceived as an expected item is negatively affected by the resources available. If the issue were just one of biting off smaller pieces or scaling back, well why not do nothing? Seriously, doing nothing would be the perfect response. There would be no resource issues if nothing was done. No Website. No newsletter. No meetings. No training. But scaling back is not the solution to this problem. The solution to this problem is increasing the involvement and activity of those people who have chosen to be members.

The "big picture" goals can stay the same, but you have to bite off smaller pieces at a time if the collective appetite for work isn't so great. -- Milan Davidovic http://altmilan.blogspot.com http://www.terminus1525.ca/studio/view/2758 ______________________________________________ Author Help files and create printed documentation with Doc-To-Help.
