Well, it didn't take long for someone to point out that I was not 
ELECTED to the AERC Board.  All it took was for me to express my opinion 
on a subject where I am clearly in the minority on the Board.

So, let's get it out.  I ran for Director in a three-way race in the 
Mountain Region, and lost.  I am only on the Board because one of those 
who was elected resigned.  I know this.

I seriously considered running for Director at Large this year for this 
very reason, and I had some correspondence with Jan about it.  In the 
end I decided that I needed to fulfill my obligation to the Region by 
completing my term.

For the remainder of that term, I intend to do the very best job I can 
representing the members of the Mountain Region.  I will try to do what 
they want me to do, as best I can determine what they want -- consistent 
with what I believe, from my own experience, to be in the best interest 
of the Mountain Region and the AERC.  We don't poll the members very 
often, and most of the issues we deal with on the Board haven't had a 
recent poll question to go by.  Directors MUST use their experience and 
best judgement in addressing the issues we deal with.

To the members of the Mountain Region:  my email address is 
jlong@xxxxxxxxxxxxx, my phone number is 720-733-1157 and if you call 
long distance I'll call you back.  My snailmail address is 11 W 
Wolfensberger Road, Castle Rock, CO 80109.  I will talk to any member 
any time, about any subject.  I will do nothing in secret or behind 
anyone's back.  And if you don't like the job I do, I will heartily 
congratulate my replacement 12 months hence.
