Most affiliates have about 9 board members. The national board has 15 members. If Anna and Elizabeth held 15 positions for all board members to attend and they were not able to attend for whatever reason, those spots could have been designated to someone else. Also, there are things that go on behind the scenes that everyone is not aware of including the fact that we have been asked by our connection to wear name badges. This will entail a cost. Again, if we make 15 name badges for all board members and they cannot attend, we could have saved that money and put it toward something else the affiliate may need.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Anna and Elizabeth are more than happy to speak to the board at any time.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Please let’s remember to direct our questions to individuals off the list serv so that it does not clutter our inbox.
