AERC Board Meeting Minutes

[Kim Fue <KimFue@aol.com>]

To: Marianne, editor of Endurance News:

     I would like to make a suggestion when publishing the AERC Board Meeting
minutes in the AERC News.  I think it would be very helpful for AERC members
to see how their directors vote on issues that are before the board.  I would
like to see AERC publish not only whether a motion was passed or defeated but
how each director voted on the motion.  
     It would be very helpful for membership to see how their directors vote
on issues.  This year is an election year for Directors at Large and I would
like to be more informed when I vote this year.  Many Directors at Large are
not in my region so my only knowledge of them comes from their riding
notariety not on how they stand on issues that effect me as an endurance
rider.
     If you are not able to publish full minutes because of the number of
pages it would take up in Endurance News I think that you should post the
minutes, including the voting record,  on the AERC website or on the Endurance
web site (endurance.com) which lists all ride results.
    I recall that you asked members to become more involved in AERC in one of
your posts last Fall.  I think being a well informed member would be a great
start.  If you are not able to publish the minutes including the voting record
in EN or a website please let me know the reason why this information is not
made available to AERC members.
