Would you like to be an active member?
No doubt the CRPA has made quite a bit of progress in the last two years. Are you interested in becoming an active member of the CRPA? You can contact the entire Board of Directors or discuss your ideas, even offer some constructive criticism, if need be.

I am wondering whats the point of using a middleman when a member or non-member can just reach the office directly?
What is listed on the front page of the CRPA website. If you have any questions and/or concerns please call (714) 992-2772 or e-mail us at contact@crpa.org Or send a PM directly to CRPAgunner (Tony - CPA President) on CALGUNS or to one of the 23 other CRPA board members on CALGUNS.

That said, why contact the office when you can simply contact all players? This ensures accountability. Quote:

I believe some Directors get CRPA Board related emails at work so the forwards will go to their work email without them being asked if that's okay. Isn't that similar to a spam-bot? You're on the Board, why not just help set up a .crpa.org email address for each Director and then a email forwarding address to those email addresses? Something like 'tellthedirectors@crpa.org'? That would let the members have a direct line and allow the Directors to determine where they want to receive the emails. at home, at work or on their phone, whatever.

Accountability from an unapproved middleman is not accountability, I as a CRPA Board member never voted on, accepted via email, voice or other method of acknowledgment, engaged in open board discussion any acceptance of you or greasemonkey or others acting as a middleman to collect and distribute any member question, points of discussion, grievances or other such communications. It seems this should now be brought to the board for discussion.

I also had trouble locating a place on the CRPA website that I could contact the whole board instead of sending an individual email to one board member, gambling on that board member being one of the 4+ year ones that 'understands how things work around here.' How is this any different than the NRA-ILA having a form for us to contact our representatives? If you have a better way for us peasant members to contact our CRPA's leadership, I'm certainly open to options. |

For any future posts, might I recommend that you try to be more professional, polite and drop the juvenile sarcasm.

I am all for CRPA members having a direct line to the Board.
In fact I'll go one better than a third party web site, if you want to contact me as a member of the CRPA Board of Directors you can email me directly at: paul.nordberg(at)calguns.net I'll be the first to say I don't have all the answers but I can sure chase down those who do! Any organization like the CRPA should be responsive to its members, it only serves to make the organization better.

Thank you for making yourself available. I do have a question, if it's best to deal directly with CRPA, why is there a CRPA forum here on CGN?
Would you mind chasing someone down that has the answers to the questions I asked you and Ivan via email? Quote:

This forum exists for a few reasons, the first is that the 'Clubs and Organizations' Category is for exactly what the title says. Any California non-profit shooting club or shooting/2A organization who requests a forum for their members is welcome. Now if your group is for profit then we start talking about Vendor forums and I'll put you in touch with our marketing person, operators are standing by.. The second is a bit 'diabolical' I guess, when this forum was first set up CGN was quite a bit smaller and frankly it was my hope that we could tap in to the CRPA member base to grow our membership here on CGN. So yeah, this part was a bit self serving. It may well be time to help CRPA set up a forum for it's members on their site, we'll have to look in to that. That someone would be me, and as I get time I'll address your questions and others.

Because a coordinated group of people publicly asking questions of the leadership and procedures makes more of an impact than one person privately sending an email. That is, if enough people are even interested in engaging the CRPA. It was like herding cats to even get people to buy a $22 membership.
Remember how we coordinate groups to show up at events like City Council meetings and contact local officials when the State/Local leadership is not operating within the confines of the law or in the best interest of its constituents? I think the CRPA has made some progress, I also think some of the necessary changes aren't going to take place from the top-down if people don't get involved or if valid discussion points are moderated out of existence. |

Does this mean that if I were to send an email through your service my questions, comments, concerns or info will be publicly posted?

Also I frankly thought the 'disquss' on the site was a typo!

Paul and Jacob have brought up some very critical issues that I really never considered about this website!! That's what I get for NOT being an 'IT' guy !!!
Seems this was entirely premature and there may be some legal issues also. Still needs some work before it's viable and anyone will pay attention to it..........
