I think an ED would allow us to at least ensure specific tasks are being carried out successfully. With the AH debt paid off much of our membership money is now being held looking for a worthy cause that we should be spending money on. Having an ED would allow us to set those priorities and carry them out. In my opinion an ED would enable us to do as much or as little as we provide leadership for. > > > David Lang > > > On Sun, 1 Mar 2015, Martin James Gehrke wrote: > > It wasn't my intention to dig up AH and the past.
