Yes, that suggestion was discussed and agreed upon. Right now, as things stand (subject to change), the conferences are supposed to be held in different locations throughout the country. Naturally, as has previously been stated above, the selection of locations are dependent on a number of variables. Some of which are:
*Cost- hotels, meeting room rentals, food n beverage, etc.
*Airports- proximity, major hubs, etc.
*Attractions- casinos, night clubs, golf courses, fishing, etc.
*Training Facilities- Firearms, self-defense, handcuffing, take downs, etc.
There are procedures in place now for everything related to any action that affects NABBI. As I understand it (subject to correction) it works something like this: Suggestions made are directed to the appropriate committees, from there they are passed up the chain to the Board of Directors, then on to either the Vice President or President or both and somewhere in there a vote is held.
I Imagine that someone, either the President or Vice President, in the near future, will lay out the organizational flow chart denoting the various committees and their respective chairpersons, Area Representatives, Association Officers, Members of the Board of Directors, etc. It is also most likely that eventually most information regarding NABBI will move from FRN to NABBI's own website.
In the meantime, all of us need to be actively advertising NABBI to friends, relatives, clients, industry related associations, etc. NABBI's survival, like any other organization, is solely dependent upon membership.
Again, these are my own opinions on these issues. As such, they are always subject to correction and/or changes at later dates.
