FW: use of Greater Seattle Aquarium Society Logo

["Hess, Clay A" <clay.a.hess@boeing.com>]

Good Morning,

Ok....so, no damage done. Please see Brian's note below.  Brian is being
very good about this, something in his favor.  I told him our Society would
vote on this issue at our April 30th meeting and then get back to him.

But, in the future I think we should vote, as a Board, on issues such as
requests to use Society "resources".  Something we may wish to think about,
it takes time to gain a "good reputation" and only seconds to destroy one.
In other words, and I am not saying that Brian would do this, but, if for
some reason our Society name gets misused and, in turn gains a "bad
reputation", we will spend years trying to fix the damage.

Clay

Dear Clay,

   After your gracious note, I am embarrassed to admit that I took
Erik's response as "yes" and added the GIF to the web page. I have
already removed it. I understand your need to bring this before your
Board and will have no hard feelings over anything you all may decide.
There is, of course, no hurry.

Brian
