7th area qsl bureau

Al, I think you took on the Bureau from Marc and greatly enhanced it further.  Marc had done a lot of food improvement during his manager time. 
My opinion is that the bureau overall is in really good shape.  Both of you deserve a lot of credit for how well the bureau now functions.

And the R section issue is certainly a fluke sort of thing and could not be foreseen.  I think one additional information could be required from section workers, that of a contact when something like this takes place.  I am thinking either a family member or even a really close ham that would be able to assist in recovery of the bureau assets.

The “R” Section is an issue that needs to be resolved.  Most of the emails from users of the bureau over the past year had been about the “R” Section.  I do not want to resolve this issue in a manner that is disrespectful to anyone.  However it appears that changes need to be made here. And from my position it needs to be done soon.

 

I understand that I am the Bureau Manager.  However the WVDXC is the sponsor of this function.  As such I am looking for direction and support in resolving the issue.

 

Other sections are in need of change as well.  At this time there are 4 sections that need to be transferred to new managers.  I am working on that with those that wish to retire as a section manager

 

I believe we should have a formal discussion  of the 7th area QSL bureau and how it is managed.  This could be as officers only or at club meeting.  Areas of interest that I believe should be considered are listed below.  These may be discussed at different times if it appears that it could be a lengthy process.

 

  • Incoming funds
    • Receiving funds
    • SASE’s
    • Transferring funds to section managers
    • Accounting for use of funds
    • Accessibility of funds
      • Bank accounts
      • Recovery of funds
    • Liability of those handling funds
  • Incoming QSL cards
    • Receiving of incoming cards
    • Pre-sort of cards
    • Distribution of cards to Section managers
    • Selection of Section managers
  • Recovery of Section(s) in unfortunate circumstances
    • Funds
    • Records
    • QSL cards
    • Physical assets
    •  

 

Gentlemen,  As 7th Area Incoming QSL Bureau Manager, I have tried to make it as easy as possible for Section Managers to perform their tasks while maintain an accountability of the funds and cards that we handle.  When a section changes hands I have cleaned it up and handed it over to the new manager in what I have hoped is a well organized and efficient operation. I hope this effort has been acceptable to you
