<< I'd like to share something I've been thinking about for some time.
Several months ago there was a comment from one of the members of the
NFHR board of directors that they often didn't really read the list,
and recently, one of the members of the board unsubscribed from the
list. In my opinion, these directors are not acting in good faith
with those who elected them. I know that there is a person designated
as liaison between the list and the board, but I think that every
member of the board should read the list for her/him self. While I
don't think that any action of the board should be directly
influenced by anything that is said on this list, I do think that
every member of the board has an implicit contract with every member
of the NFHR to use EVERY means at his or her disposal to keep in
touch with what those members are thinking. If this means spending 20
minutes a day reading this list in hopes of seeing something relevant
to board actions once every couple weeks, then so be it, it's part of
what he or she contracted with us as members to do. If they're too
busy to do that, then they're too busy to represent us on the BOD.

Steve,
Well said. I served on the BOD for 6 years and wish that I had had this
Digest to keep me abreast of the membership's needs!
