I agree with Cyndy. Who would want to be a Board member if you know you were
not allowed to get sick or have a family emergency? That is just unreasonable.
No one can schedule these things around Board meetings! Margy has been such
an asset to our club for many years. I am ashamed of the people who have
treated her this way, and they should be ashamed of themselves!

Tish, I agree. It's not just about missing, but about why and what
arrangements you make to get your job done, be it through asking someone to
fill in or as Margy did, doing it over conference call.
I THINK I remember that the rule was changed because Blanche had a hard time
attending meetings. No one wanted to throw her off!

Hi All,
I just want to clarify some misconceptions about Margy and the meetings she
has missed. As you all know, I have attended almost every meeting in the
past 20+ years. Margy missed the July 2005 meeting when Ginny was
President. I
remember it well because we had just moved to VA and were at Lake Anna. I
flew out of National and could hardly walk my knee hurt so bad. It is one
of
the only meetings in 20 years when I didn't stay for the Sunday portion (I
WAS NOT A BOARD MEMBER THAT YEAR!). Margy was sick in FL with shingles or
something and her doctor would not let her fly. She participated in the
meeting
and took the minutes thanks to modern technology. She also missed the
National meeting in Oregon. That says she missed 1 meeting out of 8 under
Ginny
Altman.
Margy missed the April 2006 meeting because of an emergency with her
Mother.
Margy also missed the July 2007 meeting (and had asked me to cover for
her). That says she missed 2 meetings out of 7 under Lew (we still have
one to
go remember). So by my figures, Margy missed 3 of 15 meetings (Board meets
4
times during the year).
Now, we have had many Board members miss meetings for far less worthy
reasons than Margy's. I must admit that this last meeting I had debated
staying on
Sunday. My family was having a big reunion in Colorado and I was missing
the beginning of it. However, I decided that being a Board member, and
martyr
that I am (LOL), I would fly back later Sunday afternoon. Having attended
so
many meetings over the years I could probably tell you who didn't attend
and
why and who left early or didn't come in in time to visit a site or
whatever.
Attending meetings is very important, especially depending on your
position.
However, the reason you don't attend is also important. You know when
you
run for election when the meetings are. Therefore you can, and should,
try
to arrange your schedule so that you are able to attend the Board meetings
and be there for the full duration.
