This is doubly interesting (and forgive my lapse into legislation matters), as my suggestions to the BOD were to create a Legislation Chair, with 9 legislation Directors, each responsible for a region based on the Futurity regions. The clubs in that region would then have a specific person within their area to inform and be informed. They could get together at each Futurity and renew goals, ideas. And the Regional Directors would be in close contact with the Chair AND the clubs in their region. Does this sound familiar to what everybody is suggesting? It would DEFINITELY work as a Legislation Committee... Most of the problems arise in their areas. Would that work for a BOD? It would certainly bring the clubs more into the workings. I'm just thinking, I'm just listening.

I assume it's the same one we use for our Futurities!!?? I am not sure if I am for or against Regional representation. It has its good and bad points. This list has a lot of good thinkers and ideas. Perhaps we can come up with something that would be doable and together we could present an outline (or rough draft) to the Board which should include the reduction of Board members. How about it?
