I love TICA as an association. We are a democracy and our members make the ultimate decision on any changes that are proposed. A change in leadership certainly won't change the underlying principles of TICA. I chose TICA as my association. I don't want to turn it on its head - nor could I 😊
Changes to (the rules of) the association are membership-driven. Any member can propose a rule change. The amendment then needs to get the majority vote of the board as well as the membership. The leadership of the association has rather limited power in that respect.
