------this did not post for some reason the first time so have resent..... Was a little concerned to see that the board has voted to have all face to face meetings next year (Jan/Apr/Jul/nationals) instead of teleconferencing...didn't the oversight committee recommend by phone?And with all the details for the world show, I would have thought they would have at least one in Philly.....but not to be. Apparently Jan will be in Atlanta for a warmer climate and less weather problems...but both Apr and Jul are going to be in St. Louis. If you are needing to save money so much and going on the 3 year contract in St Louis, why face to face meetings? Can any board member answer that here? It was difficult to hear the discussions on the teleconferencing for the first time for the members at this meeting, the last 3 open to the members there have been no issues.
