 Sorry to disagree but at a minimum we need more of the membership to take an
 interest in the procedures of the AERC Board and to attend the Annual
 Meeting (no, not the convention but the Annual Meeting) and express exactly
 what they want to see the BoD accomplish.   If you don't attend the Annual
 meeting or have a continuous dialog with your Regional Directors and the
 Directors-at-Large then you do not have reason to query what happens.

Bob & all

While I agree that interaction with the BOD is important (I did 'watch' the 
meeting year before last, when I was able to attend the Reno convention & 
mtg; and I do occasionally email Barbara McC) I respectfully disagree with 
both of your premises here.   

#1 I was speaking to a specific issue (clarifying responsibilities r/t the NC 
ride) and don't believe your global response, however valid, negates the 
importance of  the issue.

#2.  I believe it is the privelege of the membership to express their 
concerns and questions, whether they maintain "a continuous dialog" with 
their RD or not.
