I have a suggestion fastfletch. You seem to be fairly intelligent and very interested the IBO and how it can be guided. Have you ever thought about becoming a state IBO representative yourself? Just an idea but you seem to want to take a active hand in making changes to the organization and that would be far easier to do from the inside than from the outside. I don' t know what the pathway is to becoming a state rep but if you choose to go that route I' m sure Judy or someone could explain it to you.
