I disagree. I think that we could use at least a part time Executive Director. They could work on Marketing materials, Prospecting for new members, PR, alot of what the committees do. They would facilitate the committees. This is not what a "secretary" would do and an administrative person would need someone to supervise them. An ED is used to being the only one or the lead person in the office. They could still work at home.
