[> [> [> [> Subject: I don't know why you keep saying that. Some states just haven't been able to generate the interest yet (and in some cases, like GA, they have had to fight against a state MAO organization that appears to be actively trying to deter girls from doing Volunteer). Even MAO is having trouble getting contestants and is now allowing at large miss contestants (GA just announced this, before the local season was even over; which certainly could be seen as a "slap in the face" to those who competed). I thought this board was to support the Voluteer system? For the first year of a national pageant, having almost 50 state reps is remarkable.

[> [> [> [> Subject: It doesn't take anything away from the quality of the women who are competing. OK, NY, NJ for example all have strong talents, strong interviews, strong SS/gown - track records to back them up. The fact that some of these states are sending appointed delegates doesn't indicate there wasn't interest - it just means they couldn't find directors - and when you have MAO actively campaigning against the organization, it makes it all the more difficult. There is room for all systems. We need to stop actively trying to eliminate opportunities for these women because of our own egos and celebrate growth of opportunity.
