Andy:

I don't see what you are talking aobut.

With John's division of regions with 734, 1288, 1636 and 2380 members you would have one region with one director (SW), two regions with 2 directors (NE/SE &amp; NW) and one region with 3 directors (Central). 


That is pretty close to equal and it would guarantee directors would be from different parts of the country.  Two things could happen to make it more even in the future.  the first being the club could go to the Iowa court system and get permission for more directors.  The second thing would be to set it up so the regions could be changed every 5 years or whatever time you wanted to make adjustments for the distribution of members.

I really think that only the officers should be elected without regard to regions.  If all the candidates for president are from Iowa so be it.  But the directors should be spread out across the country.

I also think write in votes should be allowed.

 Do you now see what I was talking about? It would only be with extreme difficulty to balance things out, when you are talking about 700 vs 2300, somebody would not like that, probably those who got shorted. If everything could come out to within 100 across the board, the members would probably be comfortable.[/quote:q531u3pw]
