I have received several e-mails concerning Article III, Section 3 of the bylaws. This article identifies the duties of the board officers. Specifically, I am referring to the duties of the Secretary/Treasurer.  I believe the membership deserves my observations about this section of the bylaws.

Sometime in the recent past I had a discussion with the office staff and their comments were that it was difficult to have 10 bosses; referring to the board members.  Their conclusions were; would it be possible for them to have one person to report to?  In the past traditionally it has always been the Secretary/Treasurer to manage the office but nothing formally had been developed.  I advised the Bylaws chairperson of the concerns and the job description for the Sec/Treas. was written independent of my influence.

The intent of Article  III is to define clear management responsibilities; it is not to give any particular power to Jim Wood.  Hopefully, these bylaws will survive me and contribute to the successful supervision of the office staff.
