Larry,
      You are right and the fairness to the membership is certainly in question.This is how they are bolstered in office.This is not an election of individuals to office,but an election of an association of peers that is supported by the silent majority.To expand a little further....the election of the BOD for the foundation....the current Board????

       As far as the bylaws are concerned,there is no committee meeting,Andy solicits input from the membership and him and Harley sort through it over morning biscuits.If they are approved by this committee they are then brought in tow to the meeting such as Lancaster this year.Twenty minutes prior to the meeting Andy and his one other member
go to their room(since the closet was already reserved) and scratch out the changes that they think need be presented.

        I am sure that Andy does read all sent to him and is certainly knowlegable in this area,however this is no way to run a committee as important as this,for an organization this size.As well,trying to get that million mile mark on his truck won't support time to do all the work himself.

        You won't see copies of changes,or presentations because they don't do them till just prior to the meeting(s).This is something that definitely has to change.Since we don't have an appropriate structure to change the bylaws and present them in a timely manner(as Andy questions in his other post),how can we get them changed???
