Let's talk about "What are constructive and what are destructive to the society"?
fkm: “ … many photographers are so disappointed with the HKBWS that they don't even join the club at all, …. There are also some that has not given up hope totally and ….”
Thanks for reminding me that. I am very aware of these facts. If people decide not to join HKBWS, I would not care too much about them. For our members, I surely want them to participate to make the society a better one.
If any member finds that the society is not working/behaving properly, then the destructive way is to exaggerate it, attack the whole society, convince others that the society is their enemy, persuade the society to get rid of particular members/volunteer, …..
The constructive way is to discuss it carefully in the forum, suggest constructive way forward, come forward as volunteers to help.
The society welcome constructive actions and advice members not to be destructive.
The board of directors and executive committee are volunteers (strictly no pay). That are trying to help the society by denoting their time and sometimes also money. Together with members of smaller committees, they are heroes that support the society, and work for benefit of birds and society members. If any member want to be a volunteer, I am sure he/she will be given the chance to demonstrate their sincerity and ability.
