Based on the dispursment of funds for a ZD, I would say this is an area in need of attention.
Limiting the areas to perform the same duties with less zone directors? In my opinion would be negative. More emphasis on geographical locations and amount of travel dictating the allocation of funds rather than population is positive!
Better yet, (as I duck) the implimentation of a split organization for the pure benefit of keeping issues, commities and other agendas in check, a West MAAC and an east MAAC under the same umbrella? A 2 part directorship allowing for more support, education, more trust, better representation of the majority, and most of all, re-obtaining a sense of membership!
