Oh Gary, You looked better quiet. Its been said over and over this was not Sharon's fault. Not that we would be surprised that she will get blamed. But the ultimate responsibility rest with the leadership of the club, in ALL decisions. Personally, I think this was a mistake, and don't blame anyone. If anything, the Ballot company is to be held accountable for the mistakes. But you have to know how to be accountable to recognize that, right? Ileana PAGAIRS@xxxxxxx wrote: Yes we do. It is entirely the responsibility of the corresponding secretary. I understand Bill Pfeiffer has had his name mentioned with the process, but his only responsibility was to procure with board approval, an election firm.

This leads to me to wonder what procedure our club follows when printing jobs are contracted out. I know with our municipality, our procedure requires any print jobs we have done (right down to business cards) to first have a proof submitted which REQUIRES APPROVAL PRIOR to printing the job. Do we as a club have such a procedure in place?
