Rick's response: The Executive Director is ruled by the board and helps facilitate the daily activities as the Board directs him/her to do. An ED is usually mandated to attend board meetings to bring the board up to date on the functions and processes they were hired to do. The Board does not necessarily micromanage the ED functions but they are defined in the contract for services and the ED knows the responsibilities they are tasked with and there limitations without Board Intervention. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of David E.

Given that some WISPs don't even want to provide this information to the government when mandated by law, getting them to provide accurate information voluntarily, especially when they have an explicit financial interest in under-reporting their membership... You'd have a bit more money, but you'd turn around and spend it all on "compliance" or some such nonsense. Anyway. I think one of the most important details in such a position would be making sure that this person is held accountable to the board, and doesn't start lobbying for stuff without the board's approval. The last thing WISPA needs is someone in a flashy suit going into business for himself. (See also "sleeper agent.") I don't like the job title - he'll be taking direction from the board and the membership, not giving direction himself - but that's a quibble, and even if it's misleading the name sounds weighty and impressive.
