I want my SSA

If you were looking for a new CFO, how many candidates are there in Hobbs,
or would be interested in relocating there? That's the real downfall of
being in such an obscure location.

How many people are actually planning to visit the SSA in the next year
no matter where it might be located?

I wonder how many would visit the SSA building if it was next door to
them?

I am asking myself is there some reason why I would want to visit....am
I missing something here?

Its just an administrative building with accountants, secretaries, and
some other committed individuals that are earning a living right?

Actually I'll bet the movers and shakers are mostly out of the office
rattling politicians cages and helping us glider pilots all over the
US.

So why all the talk about moving it? Hobbs is cheap...labor is cheap
and why take an airliner when you can fly a glider there ;-)

Lets just lend assistance putting it back in its proper place by
sending in our renewals early so they can pay the bills.

Help with your $$$ and leave strategic planning for another
day........priorities!

I don't know, but I'll bet you haven't researched the job market in
Hobbs, either. Have you done the research for any of the other places
mentioned, like Elmira, Colorado Springs, or Chicago, and determined
what a CFO would cost? It might be easy to find a CFO on Hobbs if we
paid a Chicago salary. Besides, we only need one CFO, so it's not like
we're trying to staff a major corporation, and have to line up 500
applicants to have enough bodies to hire.

Yeah, look how much we saved so far by having a Hobbs CFO.

The point is, SSA needs to be run just a little differently. Part of the
required new character of the organization should be to locate its
necessary physical headquarters in a place that is consistent with both
its responsibilities and its reason for existing.

A center of business, transportation, and soaring should be chosen. No
more hinterland locations, nor a retreat from the need to be able to
walk out the door and fly a glider of an afternoon. A location with a
connection to the development of soaring in the US would be a
significant advantage.

How many alternatives does that leave us? Very few, and none of them are
Hobbs NM.

How about Stanton, MN, 30 miles south of Mpls?
