Several years ago when I ran for the board someone put up a survey of questions (Zoe or Ileana) for those running for the board..I answered the questions honestly...I remember one of the questions I answered is did I favor the National to be rotated around the country....I answered that I believed that the National should be at the same location in the middle of the country EVERY YEAR....somewhat like the Canadian National....I explained my reasons....I got blasted for that position, and lost the election....the funny thing is that today I am in favor of rotation, but Sally is right, many people answer questions based on what folks want to hear...I never attended that school.....FB ----- Original Message ----- From: "sally" <dan-ann@xxxxxxxx> To: zrockenstein@xxxxxxxxx, tsaligsds@xxxxxxxxxxx Cc: showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Sunday, July 4, 2010 8:42:37 AM GMT -08:00 US/Canada Pacific Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: Who will remain standing? 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.  All material remains the property of the original author and of GSD Communication, Inc.
