Zoa I doubt answers to standardized questions will help you much either. Too many answers are "tell them what they want to hear" Over the years I have seen people who a lot thought would be great board members change when they were elected to people we didn't even recognize People who were once vocal and communicated with the membership become closed mouth and tell no one anything that goes on. Committees are formed chairman are changed and the general membership never gets included or even notified that the positions are open Sally www.embroiderybysally.org ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2010.
