Re: [AGA-mcm] contest chai job description

[Larry Lampert <l_lampert@yahoo.com>]

I guess you guys already know where I stand on this
issue from the Board Meeting at the AGA, but just to
put my two cents in again. I am not in favor of paying
folks for volunteer positions either. I think it is
opening Pandora's box for the reasons that Mike, Erik
and Scott have already elaborated.


However, I don't think we can rule it out completely
if we fail in our search to find an adequate
replacement for the contest. I honestly think that we
will be able to find a competent volunteer replacement
I just hope that it happens sooner rather than later.

Regards,
Larry
