In July of 2005, Ron was one only ten members (plus two Ex-Officio) in the farrier schools survey task force.
As I understand it the team did not get very far past the forming stage before the schools decided to do something on their own in improving the schools. So the team was disbanded.
I think who ever appointed Ron to the team saw that he could bring something to the process, and was wise in appointing him to the team.

Also, in his capacity within that group, Ron was quite prolific in his communications as well as quite strong with his opinion.
If your on a team such as this and not speaking up or voicing your opinion then your not doing justice to the process.

I see relevance in Ron assuming (or at least attempting to assume) a strong leadership role in a group that was tasked to survey farrier schools when he had never even been to a farrier school. If I recall his own words correctly, I don't believe he had much experience running a farrier business at that time either.
Its has no reilivence in the quality team process. In fact it helps having someone who is not close to the subject to keep others from hanging on to thier own agendas, and Holy Cows.
See my previous post.

Speaking of his own words, is there some reason you are answering Ron's question with a question? Is he not available for comment?
Ron answered the question in the tread where you asked it. I just though it to me a stange question to ask as many farriers have not gone to a formal farrier school but have learned the trade by apprenticeship.
I also think you had underlying motives to try and discredit Ron and his leadership abillities. I don't think how one learned the trade or how long one has been in the buisness has anything to do with his abillities to lead the organization.
If you think it does then lets hear your reasons so they can be debated, and the issue put to rest once and for all.
