Club Politics
Being involvement in club management for a certain period of time. I can claim truth to a fact that, "Even with the best of intention and ability, its not always the best man who wins".
I am involved in a club that is span across 2 campuses. Unfortunately, one half of the club wants to break the club and exisit on their own. They claimed that lack of support in the club activites from my campus as one of the reasons to break up. In life and everything else, you reap what you sow. If you sow little seeds, you get almost nil returns.
As my campus holds the smaller percentage of the club membership. Most of the events were held in other campus. I realised that it is useless to try to hold on to the old arrangement. Its best to let them (the other campus have their way).
What really irks me is the executive in the other campus wants to expand their membership to other related students. If they are not able to reach out to students of their own school, how would they think they can relate and attract students from other degrees?
End of it all, if they cannot even managed the club at its present size well. What confidence can one have that they can do a better job with a larger membership base?
I have other interesting opportunities awaits me beside the current one. But I am disappointed that with the best of my intentions, a good outcome is not possible with the current executive mindset.
This is a sad day for the club.
