Zoe has been good enough this year to allow candidates to post on this List, Since it is such an important issue with the membership,of which many are on this List, So thank you Zoe. One thing concerns me about all the candidates and affects how Board meetings are run. I'm not so concerned about just their qualifications. I just want to know how many of these candidates have Roberts Rule of Order,our P&P manual,and Our By Laws,and do they know them.?? I firmly believe it is a sitting Board member's responsibility to know these documents by heart,so the meeting can produce proper actions by the Board,and not just chatting or yelling across the table. This is not a local Specialty club. The meeting has to be run in a business-like way. It is not "fun&games",but a dedication that serve the membership Helen Miller Fisher ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2008.
