Often times we hear that the ANA should be more collector focused.

Would it be beneficial to have at least one ANA officer that was a regular participant of these forums?

    That would be like jumping into a vat of hot grease at this point of their tenure.

    Zoins, if I win, I don't plan to leave the forums. But what I am able to talk about will depend on the terms of the confidentiality agreement (which will be one of the first things to go if I get in!)

    At the rate the ANA is going right now, participating on these forums sounds like a sure way to get removed by the Board for communicating too much with the masses. Just ask Walt Ostremecki.
    IMHO

    Another forum to ask questions and get into discussions online with them would be better. We don't need the governors on these boards.

    It would be nice if there was someway to communicate with the board in a forum like environment! Maybe once a quarter or something like that. From their point of view I would think that it would help them stay in contact with the collectors that they represent.

    Maybe they should start their own boards. Its ok to come here as a thread particpant, but no way should this place be turned into an ANA customer service [or lack thereof] forum.

    Good to hear Michael. I look forward to your continued participation and the elimination of the confidentiality proposal. Good luck!

    This forum is a bit to confrontational to expect ANA officers to actively participate. I have seen what has happened to good guy dealers over the years and I understand their reluctance to participate.

    But I do believe it would be a real benefit for the ANA to have their own coin forums where all ANA officers and employees participated.

    This is a forum where individuals participate. The concept of an organization participating is not really consistent with the spontaneously nature of the venue.
    That said, officers of the ANA can speak their personal views and educate us about ANA policies.

    Most dealers on this forum are ANA members. They are best known
    when making claims akin to mystical powers in coin grading ect ect.
    They are fakers flying on rugs and brooms sticks.

    The ABILITY to provide a forum for COMMUNICATION between the ANA Board of Governors and the ANA membership exists today. It is at www.money.org (the ANA web site). Having them set-up a monthly on line chat session within their members only section would do a lot of good IMHO. Steveimage
