Perhaps YOU should learn that a DVP's job is NOT to ''represent'' you, but rather to PRESIDE over your district, and to serve it as an EXECUTIVE...and then elect one who uses his wisdom, judgement, experience, and knowledge to do that in the best manner possible, which INCLUDES, but is not LIMITED to, understanding the wishes of his district, and giving them due consideration.
Would you provide a cite from the AMA bylaws that states something to that effect?
Wasn't my understanding, I pretty much leaned to KE's view about how things should work. It could explain some puzzling past actions that have been taken by the EC, though.........
I don't vote for anyone seeking elected office that doesn't demonstrate or at least fool me into thinking he represents me. Why even bother with elections - who would vote for that .....Uh oh!.....maybe THAT is why 9 out of 10 AMA members don't vote.
I think you may be right. Better we rethink this, Kid.
Edit to add: D-X VP said in another thread a few lines away: "As I must, I speak for the majority and the majority wants representation so I will represent them either at council or at their home field wherever is necessary." What gives with that guy?
