Re: [AGA-sc] [Fwd: AGA/sfbaaps cooperation]

Does Mike have an interest in helping out more?  I'm not sure he does. I 
got the impression when talking to Mike that he was kinda apologetic for 
not being more involved.

I don't think it's necessarily a good thing to offer board positions just 
because someone's been around for a while.  We need people on the board 
who would be the nerve center of the AGA.

Larry, on the other hand, though even less officially tied to AGA 
management, has been invaluable in the last convention, and has 
volunteered help on the current one (which he didn't have any vested 
interested other than as an AGA member).

Just my observations.  If we had the "regional club reps" -- free or 
otherwise -- involved in the MC, and shifted our main discussions there, 
this might improve participation and decision-making without having to 
expand the board too much.
