       USAT Complaints
       By: KKW Date: June 24, 2014, 8:49 pm
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       I'm new at this forum but I've kept tabs on the old OE and
       TKDToday BBSs. I have found them to be informative and
       intriguing. I've also seen how many members, at least in this
       forum and the old ones, are disenfranchised with USAT. Be it the
       time of Askinas or now with Mr. Harris. As members of the USAT
       and supporters of TKD, to whom should we refer our grievances or
       complaints regarding how they conduct their business? Do we
       direct them to USAT? If so, would USAT respond or address the
       complaints? I tried it but failed to get a response? Would the
       USOC get involved? There have been several management changes
       yet the problems remain the same. This is their nth time to host
       the Nationals but they can never seem to get certain things
       right. Or worse, no response. It is extremely frustrating.

       USOC can't directly get involved. However, I have found the USOC
       will sometimes step up and step into the background to "advise"
       USAT.
       There are some bod members who actually care and they try but
       there are also BOD members who are there to keep the title on
       their business cards and they don't do anything. Choose wisely
       grasshopper and remember 1 vote out of 15 - so get the one who
       pays attention and cares.
       Sadly, the most effective way to get their attention is to blast
       it on the internet to where they have to do something. USAT is
       proactive. Kick the right knee and it will react.
