Right, the management committee is the larger group than the boad that 
actually runs the various things that the AGA does, like, uh, "education".
Originally the TAG editor was also on the MC because she wasn't on the 
board.  I think you were as well for the 2 days you hadn't been on the 
board, right?  The problem with that list right now is that it's basically 
the board plus Diana.

I seriously equate the whole "have a say" with "do" here.  They are one 
and the same.  Otherwise, you get into some kind of "advisory panel" that 
more often than not doesn't have a clue what they're saying.

That's cool!  Some of those are, again, stuff I think we'd do for any 
aquatic plant club, but when you tie them together like that, it makes it 
a nice package, and one which a club might take advantage of.
