That is much too logical and rational. The Board majority interprets things the
way they want not what is correct.

Some have interpreted the word “should” as optional and not binding,
therefore to be ignored if it is inconvenient to do so. From this perspective
it is optional depending on the circumstances of the moment. But all the
dictionaries I consulted link “should” to obligation, duty, propriety. It is
a softened command or indication of a following action.
The key is context. If it is used as a request or idea within a question,
then it can be optional, but in our case it is in the Policies and Procedures
Manual, not the Optional Suggestions Manual. We are bound to follow the
policies and procedures as the rule of how we do things. It we want it to be
optional then it should so state, which of course, makes it irrelevant and
useless, like, well, now! It is there because the board at some point in time
wanted it there. If we want to change that, we should change it, but not
ignore it, because it came from the will of the governed, the members.
Now I could be wrong….

I don't understand how the National can NOT be rotated! The P&P manual says
it should be! How do we hold the BOD feet to the fire to MAKE them follow the
rules? Where's a lawyer when we need one??

Great response Michelle, unfortunately I fear it will fall on deaf ears. The
majority of the current Board just do not care about anything other than what
is convenient to them. They obviously do not care to listen to the wishes of
the membership who stated in no uncertain terms that the National should be
rotated.
