Im rethinking my values... I cant believe I am agreeing with you. This could be a monumental shift in the force....

non profit means a lot of things to a lot of different folks .

Are you insinuating that teachers sacrifice more than other professions?

Like most churches…especially the ones across the street from liquor stores.

Definitely. They get to raise y’all’s booger eaters for about the same pay as a zoo Keepers helper.

and the zoo animals generally are better behaved..........

Teachers definitely selflessly sacrifice more than most other professions. Not all, most. Thanks for teaching, strugglebus

If I had to identify the 10 worst jobs in America- school teachers wouldn’t be on the list. Perspective is lost a lot of times.

I don’t think anyone said being a school teacher is a bad job. I think what he said was he took less money to do something he is passionate about, which is admirable especially today.

Running THSBA is his regular job. On top of that he also works as a tournament director three weekends a month for most of the year. He then also attends some regional championships and state championships when he is not the tournament director for no pay. The THSBA is much larger than a 200 member trail and the paperwork, finances, sponsor responsibilities, merchandise design, Insurance matters, people relations, and equipment management are much more complicated than running some Bass Nation trail.


What I understand from many on this board is that if a man works a full time job for a non-profit organization as basically its CEO and then works an extra three weekends a month for the majority of the year for that organization - he should not be paid for his work because the employer is non-profit.
.
I bet there are not many on this board that would work 24-26 days a month for the pay he receives.

Many people on this board are really good at showing their ignorance of topics. I respond on the board when I have personal knowledge of the subject matter, but I sit and listen when its a topic I have zero knowledge of so that I don't interject things that are not true.
.

I stand corrected.
IF indeed that's his Full time job he needs a raise.
Some of us have a very bad taste in the mouth when it comes to most (NON PROFIT) organizations

I just think most dont understand what they mean. Its the largest tournament organization in the world as far as number of participants and they have giant title sponsors. They are making money and thats OK!

What gets old is the forum members that dont understand this. The filings are PUBLIC

As per the link posted earlier people can see that there are two paid employee's and a few tournament directors that get paid. Tournament directors get paid an amount that depends on the number of entree's in that tournament. The overwhelming majority of the people running the THSBA receive zero pay and zero reimbursement for their own expenses to attend tournaments, meetings, sponsor engagements, etc..... Those running the organization do all they can to make sure to maximize the amount of scholarship money that goes back to the kids.

What happens to the scholorship money that the kids dont use? You seem to be in the know on a lot of this.

If scholarships are not claimed or used the money will be used for more scholarships the next year. It still goes back to the kids.
