Dir. at Large candidate question



Teresa Van Hove tvanhove@uswest.net

I have a question for any Dir at Large candidates on ridecamp. 

Would you support changing the BOD meetings in the following manner.
No rule, fee, etc that affects the AERC membership at large could
be brought up and voted on at the same meeting?  The problem I see
with having BOD representatives deciding the direction that AERC
should take is that I have often had no idea ahead of time what was
on the agenda for the next board meeting, I have the definite 
impression that the board does not even know everything they are
going to be voting on.  How can I let my board members know how
I feel about an issue if I don't know it exists?  How can my 
board members solicit member input before voting if THEY don't know 
what they will be voting on?.  

I would like to see the BOD work with the technical committee and
the AERC office to have some kind of proposal system set up so that
any issue that a board member wanted to bring up was submitted
no less than 2 months before the next meeting to the rest of the board 
so the entire group has time to get feedback before they vote.
I  would also like the agenda to be posted on the AERC web site.
Than anyone could get to a library and view the agenda and let
their directors know their thoughts - it would not be up to the
board members to "poll" their "constituents" 

Items such as protests and grievances that do not affect the
membership as a whole would not fall under this 2 month notice
system - just stuff that affects everybody.  If an issue did come up
at a meeting it could only be discussed, no binding vote could be
taken until the next meeting.

Candidates your thoughts on this?
