- Bylaws Change 1. Elect all association at-large directors: OPPOSE
- With the smaller board it seems even more important to have outside perspectives included. These seem unlikely to emerge through our current nominating and election process. I'd like to see an improved process for recruiting and orienting appointed directors and a longer trial of the process before we decide it's not going to work.
- Bylaws Change 2. Change eligibility requirements for membership: SUPPORT
- It's time to open up our membership to all who support our mission. I'm in favor of Proposal A and will support Proposal B, but am worried that there will be difficulties in getting compromise language that is acceptable to 2/3 of us. Let's just take the path of radical change and pass Proposal A.
- Election for Association President: SUPPORT Ruth Sweetser
- There are two fine candidates, but having had many discussions with Ruth since 2001, in particular in depth probes of the use of technology for the benefit of the Association, I believe she is the person to lead us in the next biennium.
