yeah I know it was just something I threw out there in response to a post, to me it's not really an great important issue anyways there are so many other more important things to think about.

If you want to cut costs you could look into cutting down the number of Board members and also make it automatic for the National Chair and the National Futurity Chair to automatically be Board members. It is essential they attend and are up on everything the Board discusses. It would save that extra expense money if they were automatically Board members. Just my opinion.
