Nancy, you bring up a very good point.  Some of the long-term directors are
in there precisely because they DO listen to the membership, they DO have
enough vision to make sensible decisions, and perhaps the main thing that
Bob overlooks--they are not in there to promote getting their own concepts
developed (I found that statement of Bob's rather unsettling, but
unfortunately some folks DO run for the BoD for that very reason) but rather
they continue to run because they genuinely care about the future of AERC
and are willing to devote some of their personal time to guiding the future
of the organization.  To those directors who fit that description, my hat's
off to you.

Meanwhile, we have wonderful system of term limits--it's called a biannual
election.  Every two years, we have the opportunity to decide whether those
long-time directors truly represent us--or not.  At least a few of them will
continue to get my votes.

Heidi
