All,
I'm thinking about attending convention in three weeks. My reasons are several but most important is that I want to become more involved in USMS and I figure the best way to find out how/what/when/where is to attend convention.
Does this make sense? Would it be worthwhile?

Why don't you become involved instead of taking pot shots? Organizations don't change overnight, things take time. Butcher seems genuine and quite motivated (even if I don't see him at the 5:30 am session!).
A) As I said this has nothing to do with any one person...so quit trying to twist this into a personal attack...the system is the problem and lots of people have tried to change it in the past...and if you talk to anyone who has been involved at the convention/committee level and left you'd probably hear them say the same things I am.
B) I've never not been involved, however I have to interest in being on the inside anymore (I was on both the championship and marketing committee's for a period of time). My (selfish) contribution and something I'm proud of is in working with small groups of friends to rally/blackmail/bribe/drag people to meets...both during my time in Colorado and now in Arizona (which we had some pretty good results in Austin and Portland).
And your excuse?
