after reading thru the archives and all the talk and knowing
the past talk and NO resolution to this matter i propose the LD Revolt.
You have 40% of the AERC Membership and contribute from my calculations just in
dues not counting riders fees etc. 150K$ per year and still feel like step
children. and you feel as if there is not equal representation on the
BOD to your views. Then i have 2 proposals. One, Revolt and
Found your own Conferance. AERC was founded in Running Deers
kitchen. Do your own thing and keep your own records and do it 'Your
Way'. Two. You have 40% of the Membership, then elect your own slate
and tell AERC what YOU want THEM to do. If the President was not selected
from Votes cast by the Board you could Take Control. Change Rules...work within
the current system or Lobby for your views. But, as i read from gleaning
thru the Archives ,MB said you did not even come to the AERC Convention to pick
up your awards. So here is My FINAL Statement on LD. Either work
within the current system, ie. change the rules to what makes you
feel equal, or Revolt and start the LD Conferance, or, please
lets not talk about it anymore. tom sites
