[RC] Communication With/From BoD Members - Dawn CarrieI remember too many times over the years, various people (several individuals come to mind) ranting on RC about various topics for a while, and then complaining, "if the members of the BoD are supposed to represent us, then why don't we hear a response from them?" Yet when a BoD member does respond and attempt to carry on a very calm, rational converation (in the face of quite inflammatory statements), as Bruce has been doing, he is then accused of trying to intimidate and shut down member input.
So is that what it means to be on the BoD? You're damned if you do, and damned if you don't? People, if you expect folks to step forward and try to do their best for you and represent your ideas, then at least give them the courtesy of polite input. I hear a lot of bitching abut what they're NOT doing, but not a lot of concrete ideas for them to take to the table for discussion. To paraphrase something Ranelle said, if you have a problem, then come to the table with a possible solution.
Or better yet...there's still time to nominate for regional director positions. If you're not happy with how things are being done, then get in there and do it yourself.
