Agreed, I just want to be sure we are not making something out of nothing. If we are not getting the information in a timely manner because it has never been made an "issue" in the past or is there a more nepharious reason. Issue is there is something just not correct with witholding information from those who one is supposed to represent.
OH BUT IT HAS!. Within the past years of posting such on a web site, the increased time between the posting of the minutes of a meeting and the number of items of significance, especially those screwing the membership, have historically been directly proportional. I have brought that topic here a number of times. The most significant one was when AMA purchased the Trade Show from the Northrops. They did not wish to release that little tidbit. It has been rather funny.
I cannot believe Hoss has not jumped in here yet.....HOSS..HOSS..We're beatin up the Exec. Board...get Over here!!! (j/k)
Bottom line a week is enough time to get the information typed proofed, and posted. I think I am going to call the AMA and see what's going on. Want me to report back what I am told?
Let me know.
Sorry, but this is my slow time. Had a meeting this AM and things are going fairly better than I expected with my cataract surgery this past Friday plus my neuralgia problem seems to be doing better, so I was not on the confuser this AM except with my pool man. His bill to replaster my pool at $6000.00 did generate another migraine.
Anyway I did present you the Agenda a while back:
>>>New Stuff for Your Efforts; - 4/9/2007 11:10:51 AM <<<<
That was all there was to contact a DVP about prior to EC action. Now whatever comes up in the meeting is always something that has to be fixed after the fact. That happens. I have recovered a few items that the EC really went overboard on. It just take a a little "_ell raisin' ". Some times I win, sometimes I lose, sometimes I get rained out. One cannot be meek when fighting commies!! I certainly have made NO INROADS on this MA thing yet! But "Tomorrow is another day."
When I was a DVP the #1 problem -- no one had computers back then, '79-82, --
no one else seemed to come to the meetings prepared. I spent 2 weeks on layovers reading and reviewing everything I could get, plus a couple days prior to going to the meeting, plus reviewing on the trip out to wherever the meeting was. I studied and knew about every subject to be discussed, every subject discussed within the past 2 years, and conversational about every subject within the past 10 years of council meetings. Up until I retired, I visited a few EC meetings. I received the impression that little has changed there.
So for all, it is the same in whatever item one is trying to discuss. When one person has no conception of the subject material and the other has to retrain that one then very little discussion is accomplished. Go try to talk with any DVP and pick a topic from some EC meeting of 6 months ago or more. Bet you a 6-pack he will not have a clue what you are talking about! [&o]
