OK, I see the differences in what you are saying.  I agree that Scott should
be the liaison between the AGA BOD and the convention host organization.
How this is structured needs to be workable and in line with the convention
guidelines that have already been drawn up.

Since the convention ran remarkably smoothly this year, I think it would be
prudent to stay with this model for at least a year or two more before we
decide to do any major modifications.  Why mess with something that is
working well.

That said, I DO think it is vitally important to have a solid, on-going
connection between the convention staff and the AGA BOD.  If Scott is open
to assuming that responsibility, IMO, he's the man for the job.  I think
calling him "Convention Liaison" says what we need to be said, and doesn't
make the host club feel like we are usurping their command.
