Danny has been Ethics Chair for a number of years. If there are problems between members that are ongoing in the nature of a misunderstanding between the parties or a disagreement in terms or other dispute and the member requests help by contacting the Ethics chair or a member of the Board that then refers them to the Ethics Chair, the Ethics Chair assists them in resolving their issues. Many times it is not a clear cut ethical issue. Danny contacts the parties to help them come to an agreement. Danny handled some 20 to as many as 40 issues during the time I was president. Some of these issues might have ended up as formal complaints but Danny has a unique ability to help folks resolve their issues. Danny always kept the names of the parties and the nature of their complaint confidential. His reports to the Board were pretty generic--such as "xx number of issues were resolved and xx number are still open". It takes a pretty special person to do that kind of work.
