Fascinating. Our organization, our dues, our passion, our devotion to this community, yet no vote, no voice, no communication. The men on the Board and on the Committee responsible for this change looked me in the eye at the Convention in KC and said that if this provider didn't get it together, they had NO PROBLEM in pulling the plug, and soon; that's close to a direct quote. It's 3 months later; what's gotten better? My friends, it's a trust issue between leadership and the membership. If someone tells me something face-to-face, and then there is no follow-up, no reports, no follow-through, trust goes down. It's that simple.<br><br>DA<br><br><br><br>On Oct 24, 2011, at 8:10 AM, Terry Beckingham wrote:<br><br>> Isn't progress just wonderful. Two steps forward. Three steps back.
