Please read my statement as light a fire under getting a committee established and then moving. But to be clear, I view the finance committee as existing now with a member of 1. Just like when I started with fundraising. As long as you are a President's committee, all you need is Sam's blessing and you can spread your wings a bit to get things moving. There are certain shackles we know about like the endowment that the board has preempted from anyone else at the current time. Regards, KAM -- Kevin A.
