That is certainly a sensible way to BEGIN cutting expenditures. When ourmembership was huge, our board had some reason to be so numerous. Now,hmmmm, whatever is the explanation for nineteen?

Why do we need 19 board members when we are looking at ways to save money. Why aren't we looking at cutting back the number of days for our nationals. I'm sure there are many additional ways to save monies. It is the same reason that although the government is losing money, we don't cut the number of congress or the House. It is hard to get people to vote against themselves. I used to think the board should remain since there are so many that want to serve. But only three people were not elected. I would suggest with the future elections, we cut the board to seven.
