Erik,

I think it's time I also bring up the subject again of holding elections. 
Not that I think anyone is doing a bad job (I don't!), but it brings in 
fresh blood every once in a while.  And it gives the membership a sense of 
connectivity and control of THEIR organization - even though likely only a 
quarter or a third of them would likely even vote.

I sit on three other volunteer organization boards, so I know it's hard to 
find volunteers; but sometimes it's easier to get folks to run for office or 
volunteer if they know they are only committing for a 1 or 2 year term.  It 
might be easier to them than to volunteer than to step into a "position for 
life".

Again, just my two cents...

Mike
