Hi Laurel,
I agree with you on all of that..I wish there had been more and better
communication.
always have disliked that name.the Blasting alsays seems to me to be
abrupt.and it lacks the "Hello folks, we're thinking of doing this.this is
why" sort of communication that I'd like to see there.
I agree that there should be more. BOD members.and that they are vastly
overworked.
But I don't want folks to start to run with the bit in their mouths.scared
and suspicious, this early in the "life" of a brand new BOD.
One that I have high hopes will be working to let the industry achieve some
necessary goals.just because of a very poor choice of examples.with an
artless choice of words.
I'm hoping that the idea of Branded Beef was just used because "Certified
Angus" has come to mean a quality, consistent product for the consumer.
Not because the BOD is wanting to cull young males onto American dinner
plates.
I'm hoping if the electorate does not foam at the mouth, maybe the BOD can
figure out that this was not a good choice of examples and explain before
the lynch mob is done making its plans.
But I will be very sad if one of them does not soon figure out that this is
the problem.step up, explain, calm fears and move forward..let us hope it
happens this morning.
I was disappointed to find that Rick is still "moderating" me months after
the last salvo.
Allison.whose girl is now almost a month late birthing.we heard heartbeats
yesterday, though.

I don't care much about the individual views of the Board Members (although
they are certainly entitled to them).
However, I do care about how those Board Members represent the membership's
interests and how they steward the assets of the organization.
I do care about communication between the Board Members and the Membership /
Affiliates that they require a fair amount from.
I do care about how the Board finds good people to sit on committees.
I do care about a Board of 5 who is strapped due to the nature of the
business requiring so much more than 5 individuals can do alone (I feel that
the board should actually be 7 or 9 individuals, but recognize bylaw changes
would be required and that's a major obstacle).
I do care about how the Board will achieve communication with Affiliates and
members in the absence of the Affiliate Committee.
I am willing to wait to hear soon how that will be achieved.
I saw the affiliate committee as a step in the right direction to achieve
communication and the exchange of ideas, an oppportunity to allow the
membership to take "ownership" of AOBA, and for the AOBA board to find good,
committed folks to fill seats on committees or to take on various projects.
At this point I am sorry to see it go by the wayside, but anxious to find
out how that void will be filled.
