While I don't have a problem with the "one voice" for constant contact etc or an official voice, it IS important to be able to hear each and every board members opinion on matters. Of course they will not all agree...we never intended to vote in clone's of one another I don't think.. Each member brings something to the table. I recall a few years back 2 board members having quite a disagreement on the break from the meeting....1 board member wanted basically everybody to follow the leader, the other had their own opinion and wanted it respected. This is not about solidarity, it is getting good minds together to allow this club to go forward, and differences of opinion to me mean progress. If the purpose is to form a single minded pack then I guess we only need a few people on that board. I have sent a few requests to the board recently to ask opinions, the first time a little over 50% answered, the last time less than 30%. The board must remember....when the dust falls, they are and will always be answerable to the membership. Molly I In a message dated 8/29/2011 10:23:06 P.M.

THAT IS WHY THEY VOTE!!! THERE ALMOST IS NEVER "ONE VOICE"......and why should any Board member be held to silence on why or how they voted the way they did?? ===========================================================================POST is Copyrighted 2011.
