Good point, Will, I shall respect the board's crisis and allow them the much needed time they need to respond.
Thank you!

Hi Effie,
Points taken. I'm not sure that I would have done it differently if I

hopefully we can move forward like professionals with respect to one
another.
BTW, my wife is currently at a board meeting. It's a local development
board, similar to a city council, but not nearly as large. I've also
served on a BOD for a large IT consulting company. My point is that I
know what the BOD is going through, and I'd like to repeat what someone

Hi Marshall,
At the time, things were pretty nasty online. It was probably better
to not hash the details in a public forum. I say, if the nasty online
comments were allowed, then the printer issue cost should have been
posted as well for all of us to see.
I reached out to a few people while it was nasty, and I got the same
explanation that Judy posted. Basically, the printer costs were about
the same - and not $8,000 cheaper.
But like I said, it didn^1t make sense to hash details. I say just a
statement that there was not an actual proposal with savings submitted
by MS, (if that was true), would have not been a "hash details" but a
most important and deserving information to us all.
I still think the best solution is to have 6 color mailings with the
newsletter and Profiles merged. Profiles is a great looking magazine.
Jack provides great content. Let Jack continue to provide technical
articles. Task local chapters to produce content for local updates.
And task the editor to pull it all together into Profiles. The BOD can
produce content for national events.
Will.
