i was one of the people who "attended the board meeting via conference call" i can assure you that the only time the BOD was in closed session was to discuss the recipients of this year's awards. also, the agenda of the BOD meeting was available to all members and nowhere on it was an ROM bitches committee action item. maybe, as i've said before, more of you should call in to these meetings and perhaps there would be more facts, less rumor. diane ======================================================= gary wrote: O.K., let's squelch the infamous rumor mill right now! There was no proposal by the ROM chair or anyone else for that matter to make ANY changes to the ROM criteria. We, the membership, have other issues and concerns before us and there are folks on THIS list that attended the board meeting via conference call, and I'm ABSOLUTELY positive they would have mentioned it immediately, if not sooner!!
