We are losing a lot of good people, (myself excepted), and we need to ask why that is. We don't appreciate the board, instead we blame them for doing too much, or not enough. We now lose Carolyn, Dave and Gail. We do need to think about why that is Frankly,I feel we need fewer people on our Board. Long ago we used to have two Vice Presidents, Gin McCoy of Longworth Knls was one WE also had Ann Mesdag. WE operated that these would move up,as the Presidency was vacated due to term limitations, Tthe first VP would move to President, 2nd VP become 1st VP and we would elect another 2nd VP. This way ,you had continuity and knowledge We thought the Board was too large and eliminated the 2nd VP ,and started the system we have now I would like to go back to that system,and perhaps have 9-10 Board members( 9 is better --an uneven number for voting ) Helen Miller Fisher ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2008.
