[quote=nannydebsays]I'm a member of INA as well. I've gone to one conference, and would have gone this year if I wasn't busy working and planning NNTD for my area.

I believe that one of the reasons nannies aren't the only ones "allowed" to have a say in how the INA is run is the basic reason that most nannies work 50+ hours a week, and flat out don't have the time to devote to also working a second FT+ job running an international association.

Additionally, agency owners, payroll company owners, etc. have more actual *business experience* than many nannies. And the INA is a business. The effort expended to produce a yearly conference is huge, and it needs people with the experience and connections nanny related business owners have to make it all come together!

I can't really understand the venom directed at agency owners - agencies do actually help nannies find jobs. Good agencies (and I bet the agency owners who help run INA are also members of APNA!) can make a difference in whether a job is decent or crummy, so why shouldn't they have a say in how INA operates?

Without nannies, agencies will collapse. Without agencies, many nannies would not be able to find decent jobs. It's all interconnected, don't you think?[/quote]
